Since new houseboat plots are like gold dust, it’s far less complicated to build a new structure on a site that already has a decaying houseboat, so when Penny and her husband Jeremy discovered such a plot for sale on the idyllic Bembridge harbor, they jumped at the chance of owning it. The only downside was the existing houseboat, quaintly known as Little Broom, which was a leaky and smelly ex-WW11 personnel landing craft. ‘We shared the damp and dark boat with mice for two years during the build, it had its charms though and I loved it, but we couldn’t wait to move into our dream houseboat as this one had definitely had its day, ’ says Penny.
