De Hoop - £75,000

Extremely attractive 51’ x 10’ Dutch Beurtship style ex cargo barge, originally built in 1927 in the Netherlands as a motor barge. She was subsequently converted to a live aboard and cruising barge with a raised cabin over the main hold, wheelhouse aft and Luxemotor style aft cabin. 

De Hoop Doet Leven has benefitted from considerable investment by her current owner during the past 12 months and is only for sale due to the current owner relocating abroad for work.

Her interior is utterly charming and has been tastefully updated whilst retaining many period features. Her master cabin is in the stern with excellent storage. Her wheelhouse, with original fittings and instrumentation, could easily be used as an office from which to enjoy the wonderful marina view. 

Moving forward, she has a fully equipped galley and built in washing machine/dryer. Good worktop space and excellent storage also feature. Her saloon is delightful; warm, welcoming yet light and deceptively spacious. Her saloon also features a stove and the entire boat has been redecorated to a very high standard. 

Early viewing of this delightful barge on her fully transferable, residential mooring at Limehouse marina is strongly recommended.
