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
Nestled on Vicarage Lane in Hoo St Werburgh, Rochester, Trent 18 presents a unique opportunity to own a charming houseboat that combines classic maritime elegance with modern comforts.
This Humber Sloop, constructed by Goole Shipyard in 1923 and fully refurbished in the late 1980s, offers a delightful living experience on the water.
Stepping aboard, you will discover a thoughtfully arranged interior that features four separate cabins, providing ample space for up to six berths.
The galley and saloon area is bright and inviting, perfect for both dining and relaxation.
The warm wood panelling throughout the vessel adds a timeless charm, creating a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home.
The single-level layout ensures easy living, while the impressive headroom and built-in storage enhance the practicality of this unique residence.
A well-sized family showeroom completes the accommodation, ensuring comfort and convenience for all aboard.
Trent 18 boasts spacious deck areas, ideal for enjoying the outdoors and soaking in the tranquil surroundings.
The vessel is equipped with diesel-fired central heating, ensuring warmth during cooler months.
Notably, the hull bottom was replaced in 2005, providing peace of mind regarding its structural integrity.
While currently being sold as a static home, the inclusion of a brand-new Dongfeng diesel engine (76hp), which is unfitted and on blocks, offers the potential for future cruising adventures should the new owner desire.
With a length of 66 feet and a beam of 14 feet, Trent 18 is a remarkable vessel that harmoniously blends character and comfort.
This is an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a distinctive lifestyle on the water, combining the charm of a classic boat with the conveniences of modern living.
