The Boat “Swallowtail”
Swallowtail is a wide beam barge of some 10ft with 6’6 head height, making this barge far more useable than the more familiar narrow boat. With a 10mm steel hull, the boat was built in 2006 by the renowned Morvoren Sea Craft of Penryn, Cornwall and has only ever been moored at Blagdon Waters.
The boat comprises 2 bedrooms, both with en-suite marine style shower and WC. The toilet waste is pumped to a septic tank on adjacent land. There is mains electricity, along with 12V lighting, bottled gas for the cooker, mains water supply and waste water pump.
Moored on the south side of the lake, with natural scenery and unspoilt countryside. A small jetty provides access to the boat, and useful boat house, perfect for entertaining!
The “Lake”
The majority of the lake is maintained by the local land owner, with a section of bankside maintained by the boat owner. The lake is a nature sanctuary and is not used for water sports. There is good stock of Rainbow Trout and the boat owner has fishing rights on the lake.
The “Boat House”
Adjacent to the boat mooring, is a wooden summerhouse with power supply and 12V battery system housed to supply power to the lights on Swallowtail. The boiler and gas bottles for the boat are located to the rear of the building. Providing perfect storage and entertainment space for family and friends.
The “VW Camper”
Included in the sale in an unregistered Brazilian import VW T2 campervan. The van has no engine and is a rolling shell. The intent for the van was to create a double bedroom to provide additional accommodation for the site if required.
