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 Piggin Arkful, a distinctive Dutch barge–style narrowboat offering cosy and characterful living on a secure residential mooring.
Built by Dave Thomas with 20/10/6 mm steel, she combines the elegant lines of a barge with the practicality of a narrowboat - and the rare benefit of a proper wheelhouse.
Piggin Arkful is designed to provide practical comfort while retaining a charming, traditional feel throughout. Wheelhouse: A standout feature providing sheltered navigation in all weather.
It also doubles as a useful porch area - ideal for coats, boots, and everyday storage.
A small deck area adjoins the wheelhouse, complete with a bespoke BBQ, offering a pleasant outdoor space for summer evenings.
Galley: Compact but well-equipped, featuring a gas hob, oven, and grill, together with ample work surface and storage.
Saloon: A bright and comfortable living area with multiple windows for excellent natural light and ventilation, and a solid-fuel stove on a raised tiled plinth providing warmth and charm.
Bathroom: Fitted with a hip bath, wall-mounted shower, hand basin, and cassette toilet. Bedroom: A cosy double cabin with a fixed berth and good built-in storage.
Heating is provided by a diesel-fired Eberspacher central heating system, ensuring comfort throughout the year. Structurally sound and mechanically in good condition.
Would benefit from an external repaint and wheelhouse roof repair - both straightforward projects. Built of robust 20/10/6 mm steel plating, ensuring longevity and strength.
With her reliable BV1903 diesel engine (43hp), Piggin Arkful retains her cruising capability for those who wish to travel the waterways, while also being perfectly suited as a comfortable static home.
Set within a secure residential marina, Piggin Arkful offers both peace and convenience.
Piggin Arkful is a rare and appealing Dutch barge–style narrowboat, offering a wonderful balance of character, practicality, and value.
With her secure mooring, wheelhouse, and cosy living spaces, she’s ideal for year-round residential living - and retains the ability to cruise when desired.
The boat is freehold and the residential mooring is leasehold.
