‘Le Petomane’ is a charismatic 58′ steel barge offered for sale on a residential mooring on a working boatyard, with picturesque views of Lake Lothing, Lowestoft from her aft deck.

This former Dutch workhorse was completely stripped and refitted by her current owner with an extension to her wheelhouse. She currently offers one double cabin, ideal for a couple, however with two good sized reception areas, a large Focsle and plenty of storage, could be adapted to provide further accommodation if required.
