Construction

Construction Steel
Underwater profile Full-Displacement
Finish Bitumen finish

A robust steel structure which will have withstood many years of hard work and has plenty left.

Surveyed in 2013, the craft is in good order to go on for many years in its new guise.

New solar panels help to keep running costs to a minimum.

The look of the boat has been dramatically changed through the addition of good quality wooden windows. A very solid boat which would not let you down as a strong and stable home.

Accommodation

Total # of berths 2
No. of double berths 1
Cabin(s) 1
Sink 1
Shower 1
Heads 1 heads (Porta Potti)

Enter the aft cabin and its impossible to know the boats history. Modern, clean lines and colours give this boat the designer edge of an expensive city flat.

The shower room has state of the art fittings with a large shower, wash hand basin and revolutionary compost toilet. Clean lines give this wetroom an edge matched by few boats on the inland water!

The galley is well fitted with lots of storage. A new Morco boiler provides hot water and heating.

The saloon is open plan and panoramic views of the surroundings are on 3 sides of the boat.

A glazed door leads out to the huge deck. As you can see from the pictures, storage of 2 normal sized cycles barely touches the space and there is still ample room for summer seating and a table.

4 burner propane Stove

Broker's Comments

If you're looking for unusual, here is different with a capital D!

Originally a British Waterways workboat, you could be forgiven for being somewhat surprised at the result of this brand new fitout.

Modern, clean lines give a serene atmosphere to the uncluttered interior which is just waiting for a new owner to add their own flourish.

With a Zone 2 Residential Mooring (transferable by agreement with Marina management). this boat is close to shops, DLR, tubes and ammenities and is part of a good community with excellent marina facilities such as a laundry. There is a transfer fee payable for the mooring.
