Description
Zodiac, a beautifully converted ex-passenger ferry, offers a unique blend of space, charm, and natural light. Originally a passenger ferry on the River Thames, she has been transformed into a substantial floating home with two generous levels of accommodation, a large open-plan lounge, and a private aft terrace overlooking the River Medway. The main living area is flooded with light from numerous windows and features a bright porch area, while the lower deck offers two large double bedrooms, a family bathroom, a dining area, and a fully fitted kitchen. The vessel requires some restoration, including a full survey and maintenance, but presents a fantastic opportunity to restore and enhance a vessel of exceptional character and size. With a rich history and a unique charm, Zodiac is a rare find in a desirable and well-connected riverside setting.
