Wide Beam Dutch Barge For Completion 15m X 3m

15m ( 52ft ) x 3m ( 10ft ) Wide Beam Dutch Barge The Andromeda is a wide beam barge of 52ft x 10ft. And is offered ready to fit out to your own design. Reluctantly we have decided to sell due to health issues and the inability to do the work. This a blank canvas now to fit out the interior and end up with a fabulous live aboard. An estimate that a further investment of 5k to 8k is needed to give you a great return on the investment.

( less if you do the work ) We have had estimated valuations of 70k and upwards when finished depending on where it is moored.The layout of the boat would make a delightful live aboard when finished. The back deck ( 8ft x 10ft ) and steering position leads to a doorway to the main accommodation and an unusual centre staircase leading to the top deck. Provision has been made by way of a fabricated framework to install a decking area of approximately 250 sq. feet. Additionally there is an entry either side, with wide ( 3ft ) gangplanks that drop down and give excellent access, originally built for disabled access we think this is the reason for generous sizes on stairs and walkways.The doorway to the interior leads to a vast open space of just over 400sq ft. Well-lit with an unusual window configuration surrounding the front of the boat.
