Property Description
LIFE ON THE WATER!
An incredible opportunity to purchase a spacious, 80ft barge. The Ark has close to 2000 sq ft of living accommodation and a spectacular mooring on the Penryn River.
You could be waking up every day to some of the most picturesque water views in the country!
The Ark is a very spacious houseboat moored on a beautiful tidal creek of the Penryn River which runs into the Fal Estuary. Located at Jubilee Wharf, the mooring benefits from being right in the heart of Penryn, with a host of amenities on your doorstep.
The Ark is a concrete barge, originally built for transporting supplies to the Mulberry harbours after the D-Day landings. She is a flat-bottomed vessel, with a single chine which provides a slight rise of floor in the bow and stern. The deck line lifts towards the bow and stern but is otherwise flat.
At deck level there is a large kitchen with double doors through to a very spacious living room with a wood burner for cosiness in winter. Large windows all around make the most of the beautiful views, whilst a second pair of double doors open out onto the stern which provides a fantastic deck area, ideal for sunbathing or even having a barbecue!
A stairwell descends to the lower accommodation which includes five large bedrooms and a bathroom. There are two large bedrooms in the bow and the stern, and there are three other double bedrooms situated on the starboard side which extend to the centre. To port there is a wide corridor with a shower-room amidships.
Heating is provided by electric radiators and a woodburning stove. There is an additional 'Webasto' diesel fuelled hot air heating system available (currently not connected).

LOCATION
Jubilee Wharf is an award-winning mixed development of housing, businesses, workshops, cafe, offices, and children's nursery. The Zed Shed, a beautiful community hall, which hosts wellbeing and fitness classes, is also located here.
Penryn has an active community and good everyday facilities, including schools and a doctor's surgery. The centre of this historic harbourside town hosts a variety of interesting independent shops, cafes, yoga studios and other amenities along with numerous historic pubs nestled amongst its cobbled streets. The town benefits from good communication links with nearby Falmouth via its bus service and train station, which also links to Truro City and the mainline to London Paddington. Beautiful walks, beaches and coastline are just a short drive or cycle ride away, along with some of the finest sailing waters in the UK.
