This modern narrowboat, formerly part of the ABC Boat Hire fleet, offers a fantastic opportunity for anyone seeking a comfortable vessel for leisure cruising or liveaboard use. Designed with versatility and comfort in mind, Birch is equipped with full radiator central heating and hot and cold running water supplied from a generous 150-gallon tank, ensuring year-round usability.
The boat features a double-filtered drinking water system for added convenience. A 2kW inverter provides 240-volt electricity to selected appliances and sockets, making it easy to power everyday devices while on board. The saloon and bedroom are carpeted for a homely feel.
Sleeping arrangements are flexible and ideal for couples or small families. The rear cabin can be configured as either a double bed or two singles, complete with sprung mattresses for a restful night’s sleep. A small wardrobe offers storage for clothing and personal items. The saloon seating area can be converted into an additional double bed in the evening, allowing the boat to comfortably sleep up to four people.
The galley is fully equipped with a four-burner gas cooker, grill, oven, refrigerator, sink and drainer, ample work surfaces, and storage space—perfect for preparing meals on the go. The bathroom includes a wash basin, flush toilet, hip bath with shower, and a 240v shaver socket.
Recent maintenance includes hull blacking in 2022 and a full engine service carried out in July 2025.
