A beautifully presented Traditional stern narrowboat, currently used as a live aboard. With so many unique elements inside and out she has been lovingly kept by her current and previous owners. With an unusual livery and unique v shaped hull she always turns heads.Entering from the bow, through a large covered cratch area, ideal for storage and sitting out on a summers evening, you then enter into the utility area where there is ample storage for jackets bags and shoes. A hotpoint washing machine is situated in this area. Continuing through the french doors into the main cabin area, it is a large open space which remains bright and airy throughout the day as the boat has many skylights, light domes and hatches. A Morso squirrel heats this area and a back boiler is connected to this heating each radiator in the rooms further down the boat.
