Architecture & Interior
The Persevere is a meticulously crafted floating home, built to the exacting specifications of its current owner and designer. Constructed eleven years ago, this airy two-bedroom sanctuary boasts a flat-bottomed design and an impressive ten feet of headroom throughout.?
Floor-to-ceiling windows and generously sized port holes flood the space with natural light, while a built-in wood burning stove with back boiler provides the cosy warmth of a real fire and the convenience of central heating.
The heart of this floating haven is the sprawling 1000-square-foot living area with an open plan kitchen that's fully fitted with modern appliances, including oven, induction hob, fridge, and dishwasher.
Further back you'll find a useful utility room, spacious bathroom, and two double bedrooms.
Embrace sustainability with solar panels on the roof, LED lighting throughout, superior insulation, and connected to mains water showing off a system in place that processes the waste, pumping clean water back into the creek in a very environmentally friendly way. Eco living at its finest allowing anyone to exist with minimal electricity bills.
Entertainment and internet connectivity are sorted with a pre-installed Sky satellite dish and high-speed BT broadband. For those with grand visions, the structural integrity of The Persevere presents the tantalising possibility of adding a second floor.

Outside
The crown jewel is the rare freehold mooring, spanning 100 feet by 35 feet, offering ample space for a small craft alongside the main houseboat. Say farewell to mooring fees and uncertain futures, and revel in the freedom to enjoy the serene surroundings forever.?
Adjacent to the mooring are two decking platforms, a tranquil patio area, and a series of outbuildings including a 300-square-foot studio/workshop and a convenient office space, all fully insulated and equipped with electricity and Wi-Fi.
Living here puts you at one with nature on a quarter-acre of meticulously manicured Kent countryside. Privately enclosed by sheltering fences, this idyllic retreat boasts a verdant lawn, vibrant flower beds, two picturesque ponds and bountiful fruit trees. A geodesic dome greenhouse stands as a testament to sustainable living, while the pink blossoms of tamarisk trees are a seasonal spectacle.
Agents note
It is possible to split the purchase in to two parts, land and house boat.
Finance is available on for the floating home, please speak to a member of the team for more detail.

In the neighbourhood
If you can ever drag yourself away from the mill, Kent is ripe for exploring. Coastal or countryside, there's an impressive number of villages and towns to visit within a 20 to 40-minute drive. Lose yourself in old-school seaside settings like Margate, Ramsgate or Broadstairs; be charmed by laid-back fishing harbours like Whitstable; or discover the cool creeks closer to home in the market town of Faversham.
The extensive list of restaurants, pubs and coffee shops seems to grow monthly. Locally, the The Anchor is a particular favourite amongst the local residents, along with the Plough Inn. It's owned by Shepherd Neame, the UK's oldest brewery, still operating from its Faversham home.
Further afield, the highly acclaimed Sportsman, a former pub that's now a restaurant with rooms, is a Kent success story with a rotating seasonal menu. If you can get a table, it's well worth a try.
For a taste of Italy, head to Vino in the heart of Faversham. Serving exceptional coffee by day, they switch to an extensive wine list by night to enjoy with bite-sized plates of appetisers. Or head to Possilipo for quayside Italian dining just off the centre of town.
If you like an artisanal grocery shopping jaunt, Faversham is also home to Macknade. This food hall, deli and cafe is still in a league of its own after 150 years of trading.
Outdoor types will relish the chance to explore the flat lands and marshes of this part of Kent. Miles and miles of country and coastal paths offer breathtaking scenery, extraordinary sights, and the odd historic inn.
