We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Premier Houseboats are pleased to present River Phantom, a Fairline Phantom 32 in good condition, offered on a secure residential mooring.
This vessel provides an excellent opportunity for comfortable and affordable waterside living, with a flexible interior, generous outdoor space, and low ongoing costs perfect as either a permanent home or weekend retreat.
River Phantom offers a surprisingly spacious and adaptable interior, which can be configured to suit individual requirements.
There are up to six berths, or alternatively a layout featuring a double berth, saloon seating area, and separate dining space.
The galley is well equipped with ample storage, a sink with hot and cold water, gas oven with two-ring hob, fridge, and microwave. The wet room includes a shower, sea toilet, and hand basin.
The boat is well maintained throughout, benefits from plenty of windows for excellent natural light and ventilation and provides full headroom throughout.
Externally, there is a good-sized deck area, with steps leading to the flybridge, offering additional comfortable outdoor space to enjoy the surroundings.
Powered by twin Volvo Penta petrol engines, River Phantom offers ample power; however, having been used as a static residence in recent years, the engines will require servicing prior to cruising.
A calorifier in the engine bay provides hot water.
The mooring sits within easy reach of local shops, supermarkets, pubs, cafés, and restaurants, with Strood town centre nearby offering a wider range of shopping and leisure facilities, including a retail park and cinema.
Transport links are excellent, with quick access to the A2 and M2 motorways, frequent bus services to Rochester, Chatham, and Maidstone, and Strood railway station providing direct high-speed trains to London.
River Phantom represents a rare opportunity to acquire a classic, characterful vessel with ample living space and flexible accommodation.
Well-maintained and offered at an affordable price, she provides the foundation for a comfortable floating home in a desirable riverside setting with excellent amenities and transport connections.
The boat is freehold and the residential mooring leasehold.
