Your key to a relaxed, simpler life on the canals and navigable rivers of Britain. At 60’ length, it can fit almost anywhere on the inland waterways.Under our ownership, it has traveled as far as Llangollen, explored the Birmingham network, cruised London’s waterways, Grand Union and Oxford canals, and into Bristol’s floating harbour at the extremity of the Kennet & Avon.With heavy hearts we must let the boat go now as our family is outgrowing it.The boat packs a lot of internal space with a typical forward layout.Enter from the front door immediately into the lounge area with collapsible dining table, then through to the sociable kitchenette. The kitchen space is equipped with gas cooker, full size under counter fridge, compact Belfast sink from Shaws of Darwen, solid oak worktops, and plentiful storage cupboards.Beyond the kitchen is an enclosed bathroom with shower, basin and separator toilet (this can easily be changed to suit your preference).The double bedroom sits in the middle of the boat, then leads to a very large open room at the rear end. This space originally contained a second bathroom(!), and another bunk cabin sleeping four. It has most recently been a nursery, but has potential to become an alternate living room, master bedroom, workshop, office, art studio…Lastly the spacious cruiser stern makes driving the boat a real pleasure. 4 people can comfortably share the deck so you can entertain (or show off) on those blissful summer cruises!I will add more detail and photos as time permits, but please don’t hesitate to message with any questions.Please contact for a viewing, sensible offers considered.Can organise delivery of the boat at negotiated cost.
