Description

Despite serving me well for only a short time, I’m moving away and can’t keep her. Her onward journey awaits.

Unique in her design, this boat has 4 hatches: front, back, middle left and middle right.

48’ X 6’ 9” steel narrowboat, built in 1985 by David Piper.

Trad’ style stern with a standard tiller and a built-in diesel tank at the rear.

Blackened last June & new anodes & BSS certified till 2026.

No plating: steel thickness maintained throughout.

Fully refitted kitchen with 2 ring gas stove and double gas oven.

Fully refitted bathroom with shower, small tub, sink and compostable toilet.

Ample bedroom storage.

2x domestic gel batteries,12v fuse panel, 240v consumer unit. Due to the boat sitting for nearly a year, the battery is flat.

The dream was to turn her into a floating coffee shop!

Some maintenance work needed; new battery, new bilge pump. 90% of the refit is done. Needs adapting to taste and style. Some furniture included at buyers choice. Surveyed last year when purchased, documents available upon request.

Scam emails referring to other websites to ‘check’ the boat will be reported.
