Houseboat described as ‘one of the best homes' on Channel 4's Amazing Spaces STILL up for sale – as price tag slashed
A HOUSEBOAT lauded as 'one of the best homes' by Channel 4 star is up for sale and has been spotted at a fraction of the price. Amazing Spaces presenter George Clarke previously raved about the converted barge, which has seen its price tag slashed by £175,000. 7 7 7 The converted 1960s houseboat, which is spread across two levels, is moored up in Penton Hook Marina in Chertsey, Surrey. It was initially on the market for £750,000 but is now being sold at a bargain £525,000. It comes after owners Rohan Tully and ex-wife Christina struggled to secure a sale for the famous vessel. In 2020, the couple appeared on George Clarke's Amazing Spaces on Channel 4. They explained how they had given up their rental property in Paddington, central London, to renovate the boat. George, who presents the show, called the houseboat 'one of the best homes I've ever seen'. The pair initially looked to flog their home through an Omaze raffle after others sellers had success through the same route. And when that didn't work out, the couple managed to secure a private buyer for the houseboat. But the sale fell through when the interested party pulled out, choosing to move abroad and pursue a different opportunity.

Speaking to Luxury Property News, Rohan said: 'We initially tried to sell the houseboat via a raffle. 'Having seen others doing it, I thought it was an innovative approach to selling. 'Myself and Christina would have gotten something out of it, and a charity would get something out of it. 'Obviously the winner of the houseboat would also get something out of it. 'We were late to the game though and it didn't work out. But I have no regrets and if you don't try, you don't know.' The renovations were completed in 2020 and the vessel features a spacious living room and a large kitchen dining area. Large French doors lead out to an outdoor terrace and the master bedroom is en-suite, with a bath and twin basin vanity unit. Another bathroom and two other single bedrooms can also be found onboard. 7 7 7 The old cargo barge comes from Belgium, where Rohan purchased it for less than £100,000, according to the Daily Mail. Rohan has now moved onto his next project abroad and is hoping that their houseboat will be sold soon. He added: 'I'm already onto my next project so I would like to see the houseboat go to someone who will enjoy it as much as we did. 'It was a wonderful family home that we enjoyed creating. 'We paid a lot of due care and attention to the boat's conversion and finish. 'Everyone who has seen it has loved it, and we have some great memories of the project and living there.' 7

Wimborne five unbeaten with comeback win at Chertsey
WIMBORNE went to five games unbeaten with a 2-1 win on their first visit to Chertsey in the Southern League Premier South. The Magpies trailed at half time but second half goals from Will Fletcher and Matty Burrows brought the three points back to Dorset. Tim Sills named an unchanged side from that which beat Frome, as the hosts made more of the early running, shooting over the bar and keeper Cam Plain catching well from a free kick in the opening minutes. Plain caught again from a strike from Chertsey dangerman Jack Mazzone, as Wimborne weathered the early storm and threatened themselves, Burrows testing keeper Strizovic and a corner causing some chaos before the hosts scrambled clear. Strizovic saved well from a Fletcher effort before Harvey Wright was inches away from the opener. But Chertsey opened the scoring just after the half an hour mark, Toby Little's free kick from just outside the box finding the back of the net via a deflection. Wimborne weren't able to find an equaliser before the interval but drew themselves level just two minutes after the break. Burrows put a low cross into the box from the right, Fletcher meeting it and blasting the ball home from 10 yards. At 1-1, both sides sought the lead again, but it was the visitors who would hit the front on 72 minutes. Fletcher and Burrows were again involved, the former controlling Sam Jackson's pass in the centre circle and driving towards the goal, getting a shot off that was saved by Strizovic. Burrows was the quickest to react and fired into the empty net to hand Wimborne the lead. Chertsey sought an equaliser, Plain catching well under pressure before Conor Lee fired a 35-yard free kick wide in the final minute of six added minutes. The three points sees Wimborne rise to 11th in the table after five games unbeaten and back-to-back wins.
