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 delighted to present Pendle Witch, a beautifully converted widebeam Springer, originally licensed to carry 50 passengers - meaning she was constructed to an exceptionally high and durable standard.
Now transformed into a comfortable and stylish home, Pendle Witch combines character, strength, and practicality, offering affordable living, low running costs, and the ability to cruise the inland waterways of the UK in comfort.
Access is via a spacious enclosed deck area, ideal for enjoying your surroundings when moored or used as the navigation area while cruising. A short set of steps leads down to the main hallway.
To the left, you’ll find a large double cabin with a double bed, built-in storage, and ample space for additional furnishings.
The bathroom is fitted to a high standard and includes: Full-sized bath with shower attachment Designer sink Jabsco deluxe toilet Washing machine Forward from the hallway, the open-plan lounge and galley offer generous living space and a warm, homely feel.
The galley is both functional and stylish, featuring: Bespoke worktops and storage units Pop-up sockets Double Belfast sink American-style fridge/freezer with ice maker Hotpoint double oven The lounge area includes a double sofa bed, fold-down dining table, and extensive built-in storage.
The room is beautifully complemented by a powerful 8kw multi-fuel burner, which works alongside the central heating to keep the boat cosy year-round.
Pendle Witch is mechanically sound and ready to cruise, powered by a Beta Marine 75hp diesel engine with only 250 hours of use, fully serviced and in excellent condition.
Additional technical specifications include: 5.5kVA Lister air-cooled generator rpm reduction gearbox HD stainless-steel propshaft with 14" pitch, 22" 3-blade propeller Twin fuel tanks 12V Victron battery and inverter system with auto control Victron isolating transformer Spare set of anodes included After purchase, Pendle Witch underwent an extensive refit.
She was stripped back to bare steel inside and out, before being spray-foamed, rewired, and replated where necessary with 5mm steel.
The 2018 out-of-water survey is available to view and confirms her solid condition.
All lighting has been upgraded to 12V LED for energy efficiency, and sockets have been thoughtfully placed at waist height for convenience.
Externally, the boat would benefit from a fresh coat of paint, but structurally and mechanically she is in excellent shape and ready to move aboard immediately.
As a floating home, Pendle Witch offers exceptional space, modern comfort, and low ongoing costs.
She is currently moored in a popular village location offering easy access to all amenities: General store and restaurant/diner within walking distance Bus terminus with routes to nearby towns Schools, doctors, dentist, chemist, shops, swimming pool, and leisure centre all close by A2/M2 within 10 minutes for commuters heading to London or the coast Strood Station nearby, offering high-speed trains to London (approx.
40 minutes) Close to the River Medway with scenic countryside walks and sailing facilities Pendle Witch is a robust and stylish widebeam, offering a rare combination of industrial strength, modern comfort, and affordability.

The boat is freehold and the residential mooring is leasehold.
