Summer Road, Thames Ditton

We are delighted to offer to the market this superbly maintained 40ft x 12ft wide beam barge, built by the renowned xr&D boatbuilders, presented in very good condition and ready to move straight into.

Currently on a leisure mooring under annually renewable licence allowing for cruising which gives the flexibility to stay put and enjoy riverside life, or cast off and explore further afield.

Upon entering the aft deck it provides plenty of room for standing, steering, and socializing outdoors with wrap around bench seating, hatchway leading inside, the layout comprises a comfortable sized berth cabin, with wardrobe space, a full head height bathroom with walk in shower, well-equipped galley with oven, 2 ring gas hob, microwave, washing machine, plenty of storage cupboards and ample work surface areas.

The open plan salon - the heart of the boat - is kept warm and cosy by a 5kW Refleks diesel heating stove, a superb choice for reliable, efficient heat throughout the colder months.

Doors lead out to the foredeck.

Central heating is provided via an Eberspacher Hydronic D5Wsc 5.0kW diesel-powered system, which pre-heats both engine and cabin without the need to idle the engine or plug into an electric supply - a genuinely useful feature for those cooler mornings on the water.

A spare Eberspacher D5W sc complete unit is included, giving valuable peace of mind should servicing or a breakdown ever arise.

Energy needs are well catered for with solar panels fitted using LG Solar 370Wp Cello panels that powers a Victron LiFe Po4 lithium battery and is monitored by a Victron Multiplus charger inverter and can be controlled and monitored remotely via a Victron Cerbo gx, keeping the batteries topped up efficiently.

Fore and aft deck areas come complete with new covers, offering practical, all-weather outdoor space to relax and take in the surroundings.

The vessel was last out of the water in July 2025, when she received three coats of Intertuf 16 blacking along with four x 2.8kg magnesium anodes - giving a new owner confidence in her hull's condition and protection for years to come.

This is a lovely example of a wide beam barge that has clearly been cared for and maintained to a very high standard giving an ideal opportunity for anyone looking to embrace life on the water.
