Description:
Our R (Residential) Series offers top of the range houseboat models. These luxury "floating apartments" are designed to offer a modern blend of style and comfort. With high end finishes and quality craftmanship inside and out, the R Series really redefines "life on water". Perfect for first time buyers, a family holiday home, a retirement home for those wishing to downsize, or an investment for those looking to enter the buy to let market.
We use current best practice from the construction, manufacturing and marine industries which reflects our no compromise approach to quality and attention to detail. We deliberately use a restricted palette of materials and colours to maintain the modern aesthetic and all the materials used throughout are the same as you would find in any high end apartment constructed on land.
The top of the range kitchen comes with Egger Perfect Sense kitchen doors and quartz worktops all available in a choice of finishes and colours as part of our standard specification. Also included are branded appliances such as a Bora downdraft hob, Bosch 8 oven, Quooker Pro 3 Fusion Tap and Franke Quartz undermount sink, as well as LED shadow lighting.
The luxury bathroom features a walk in shower, toilet, wash hand basin and towel radiator and there is a range of finishes available for the floors and walls, or upgrades if required.
Bluefield can also incorporate a SMART home system, which allows the control of lights, sound, heating, TV, and ventilation at the control of a button. Features such as automatic blinds, windows, and security alarm can also be added, all accessible through a wall-mounted tablet.
The R500 has 2 double bedrooms (sleeping 4-6 with the addition of a sofa bed in the living area), and there are spacious balconies front and rear to enjoy some al fresco dining when the weather allows.
There is also the ability to customise both the interior and exterior finishes, including the addition of a roof terrace with access via an internal or external staircase. This flexibility allows residents to personalise the houseboat to their specific style and taste.

“Our C250 and C310 on Lower Lough Erne are the ideal houseboats, fitting perfectly into the surrounding lakeland environment. They have both proven to be very attractive rentals, so much so we are currently considering adding even more Bluefield houseboats to our site!”
“The Bluefield R500 houseboat at Let’s Go Hydro is one of our most popular rentals. This luxury accommodation allows visitors to live on the water, close to all the action the park has to offer. A definite enhancement to our site!”
“Our R750 houseboat ‘Samphire’, which is located in Chichester Marina, is our home from home for weekends and holidays. It really is a luxury apartment on water, with the highest quality finishes, affording us an alternative lifestyle and a place where we can truly unwind.”
“I looked at a few different houseboat manufacturers but when I visited Bluefield Houseboats in Northern Ireland, I decided quickly to place an order and the houseboat delivery was very straight forward. We have been blown away by the volume of bookings since listing it and it is now our most popular Airbnb by far.”
