Description

We are selling our 70ft semi-traditional narrowboat built by Evans & Son 2001.

Since 2012 the boat has been a magical, unique experience for us, our family and friends. Now it's time to move on and pass it to the next owner.

70ft is max. length for a boat of this type, which makes for easy living. In the current configuration the boat can sleep 5 people, (incl. the dining room converts into a double bed) in two double beds and a single.

Bathroom with basin, toilet and high pressure hot shower.

Pressurised hot and cold running water to bathroom and kitchen.

Kitchen hob runs on gas, there are plug outlets through the boat and endless storage. The kitchen has an under-counter fridge, is piped for a gas oven, and has double doors either side that open up for summertime cooking.

The sitting room is spacious - approximately a quarter of the boat - and could be well reconfigured to include a breakfast bar / dining space. The current dining space can take 4+ comfortably, and sits between the kitchen and the single bedroom. During the day we tend to use the table for work, and it also folds down to become another comfortable guest bed.

Defra-compliant Salamander wood-burner and insulated flue fitted recently. Wood panelled interior means it is quick to warm up and holds the warmth well.

It has been well-looked after and we have kept all the invoices/paperwork for all the maintenance and work done, back to when it was built in 2001.

Available to view at the moment on the Regents Canal near King's Cross, London, N1
