RARE! This liveable péniche built in 1928 by Chantier des Deux Saintes, measuring 39 meters in length by 5 meters in width, is located between Reims and Soissons in the Aisne (02)
The péniche has the particularity of having the barge master's accommodation in the center, in its original oak state. Only 2 or 3 boats of this model remain. It therefore has 2 separate holds.
Entry is through the forward hold which is arranged as a habitable apartment: a 50 m² living room including a kitchen equipped with appliances (electric cooktop, fridge-freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher), and the lounge area. A wood stove (France Turbo) installed in 2011 heats the entire space.
An economical electric heating system (2004), which can also serve as an air conditioner, is also installed. Brightness is ensured by polished brass round portholes and a skylight (to be replaced – leaks during storms).
The forward peak is separated from the kitchen by a watertight door and fitted as a pantry and wood storage.
A 10 m² cabin with a porthole (same model), heated either by the radiation from the wood stove or by the same reversed air conditioning system (see main room).
A bathroom (10 m²) with bathtub and shower (to be replaced) + a dressing room and a porthole.
Continuing from there, the captain’s cabin (works needed particularly insulation) (also with independent access outside), in original oak, with an original berth-closet (view outside), a central room that can serve as an office/library. Two windows at the rear. Possibility to install a wood stove.
Below the accommodation: an insulated and closed technical room, including a 150-liter electric water heater for hot water, a 1000-liter water tank, a tank for wastewater treatment. Possibility to install the washing machine, water inlet and outlet provided. A black water treatment system remains to be installed.
An empty hold (about 50 m²) remains to be fitted out (insulation, electricity, creation of a shower room…). Many possibilities, polished brass round portholes installed, floors laid. Ideal for fitting out as an additional bedroom or guest rooms or independent apartment.
The péniche also has a deckhouse including the helm station, and the sailor’s apartment in its original state (works needed particularly insulation) with direct access from the hold to be fitted out.
A very accessible 40m² wooden terrace is installed on the fitted apartment.
A dinghy, ropes, life jackets, buoys, fire extinguishers…
The community title is valid until August 6, 2024. The ten-year inspection will therefore need to be scheduled and will be the buyer’s responsibility.
The bottom of the péniche was doubled in 2004, starboard and portside plates refurbished in 2014.
To be planned: exterior painting, replacement of the decking in the living room, replacement of the current bathroom shower, insulation of the central cabin, completion of the fitting out of the second hold, creation of another shower room, installation of a black water treatment system, renovation of the cabin boy’s cabin and the deckhouse.
VHF radio with license.
The current COT is €2,621 (€218 / month), and includes mooring fees as well as water and electricity (2023 rate).
This péniche was acquired in 2009 and €80,000 of maintenance work has been carried out since.
