Barge Glevum is a unique, stunningly restored, wide beamed house boat,
originally a converted grain barge, now an excellent alternative to a city
centre apartment boasting all modern facilities. This large and historic barge
has been renovated in recent years and benefits from a full out of water
survey in 2023, converted in the traditional style, incorporating fine
craftsmanship and carpentry throughout. It has a wonderful situation,
permanently moored on the Welsh Back and offering exceptional water views of
the surrounding floating harbour. The entrance level has an outside area,
suitable for potted plants, storage etc, which in turn leads to a spacious and
light kitchen/dining room. Fitted out with a range of bespoke wooden units,
incorporating space for fridges and freezers and includes an integrated oven,
hob and wine fridge. There is ample space for a table and chairs as well as
further storage. Stairs lead down to an exceptionally voluminous living space
in the main section of the barge with a cosy wood burning stove at one end.
Being a wide beam barge, it offers good width and head room, and portholes
line this space offering lovely water views. The principle suite is located to
the bow of the boat and incorporates a recently fitted contemporary shower
room. The second double bedroom is to the stern with an interconnecting
bedroom / home office and adjacent family bathroom which also doubles as a
utility room.
**Outside**
Outside offers a beautiful rear deck potted garden area, accessed from the
kitchen. The large fore deck is a sun trap and perfect for taking in the view
and watch the boats go by. A platform has been added to the waterside of the
hull to allow access to and from a small boat or canoe. There is also off -
street parking on Welsh Back and further residents parking permits are
available via application to Bristol City Council.
**Situation**
Ideally located to make the most of the city centre location, Glevum is
located on Welsh Back, one road back from the beautiful Georgian ‘Queens
Square’ which in turn leads to the Bristol theatre district. There are a
number of fantastic restaurants, bars and amenities on Kings Street and the
Harbourside. Temple Meads Train Station, with fast connections to London, is
only 0. 5 miles away.
