This stunning houseboat with the sonorous name Valhalla looks like a prop from the filming of a 007 film, and the oak interior is also quite in the style of James Bond. The houseboat was built in 2012 by order of Alan and Joe Mason, a couple from the UK who retired and decided to travel a little this way. Unfortunately, 76-year-old Alan's health has deteriorated, so the houseboat has to be sold. Shall we take a look inside?
The estimated price of the houseboat is £229,000.
The houseboat is 70 feet (21.3 m) long and 11 feet (3.3 m) wide. As you can see, there is quite enough space
Owners of "Valhalla" - Joe and Alan
After retirement, they lived on a small motor boat for seven years. They liked living on the water so much that by 2012 “Valhalla” appeared. And if it weren’t for Alan’s illness, they wouldn’t have sold her
The boat is equipped with a 150 hp diesel engine. With. and two 400-liter fuel tanks
Inside there is a sitting area with ten-seater sofas, a dining room, an office, a bedroom and two bathrooms.
The black parquet floors are heated and there is a Sigmar diesel stove in the central living area.
This houseboat seems to be equipped with all modern appliances - both household appliances and electronics. Here's a quick list: refrigerator, freezer, microwave, full-size five-burner oven, washing machine, TV, DVD player, four synchronized radios and 16 audio speakers.
Experts say the boat has a distinctive exterior design, but its color can be easily changed if someone doesn't like the matte black. But inside there is a real home, which has everything you need.
The interior is very homely and friendly. The Masons had been dreaming about their floating home for 14 years, so they had time to think everything through
This floating house will surely make someone very happy
You can travel comfortably on it in the warm season
Many retirees decide to buy a camper (home on wheels) for travel and recreation, but why is a houseboat worse? There is more space than in a campervan, the natural views along rivers and canals are excellent, and there are no traffic jams. A real floating cottage.
