Introducing a 50ft traditional stern Narrowboat with desirable one-of-a-kind custom-built wheelhouse. The hull was originally built in 1990 by by the well regarded Chappel & Wright boat builders in Whaley Bridge Derbyshire. The accommodation comprises a double bedroom designed in a forward layout, an open saloon and a corridor galley. This boat benefits from an extensive renovation including:
• New subfloor and laminate throughout the whole boat
• New water systems including freshwater pump, shower pump and water heating system
• New bathroom fit out including new shower cubicle, shower unit and vanity unit with sink
• New LED lighting system throughout the boat
• Complete strip back of paint system on coachwork followed by a full repaint including decks, roof and gunwales
• New Freestanding Gas Cooker with Wok Burner
• New Fridge Freezer
Also benefiting from a full kitchen refurbishment including new appliances this boat has also been extensively redecorated and remodelled throughout. Powered by a 40hp 4-cylinder BMC 1.8 diesel engine that has been removed so that the engine compartment could be cleaned, rust treated and repainted before the engine was reinstalled and serviced. Heated by a Morso Squirrel stove that has been refurbished and refitted with new flue, chimney collar and chimney. The boat has also been taken out of the water and re-blacked in 2025. She really has had a considerable amount of work to get her to the condition she is in and will make someone a lovely home, day tripper or holiday boat. A boat safety certificate has been issued in the last week. We are taking viewings by arrangement only. Please enquire to make an appointment or with any questions.
