Charis

A 42ft 1997 G & J Reeves 4 berth traditional stern narrowboat.

  • £20,000

This sweet little boat is a doddle to moor and turn, but still has everything needed to provide a comfortable floating holiday home. Charis has a Boat Safety Certificate, valid until June 2028.

The traditional stern has double doors leading into the engine room, with a side door then opening into a good sized double bedroom with storage space above, underneath and at the end of the bed.

The bathroom has a fully tiled bath area with overhead shower, and half tiled surround to the vanity unit and toilet.

A modern kitchen is equipped with eye level oven, separate built in hob, fridge, sink with drainer and ample storage cupboards.. There is also a side hatch to for lovely summer days.

The saloon has a cosy feel to it with a wood burning stove in the corner and a dinette that can be converted to a second double bed for guests. Steps lead up to the bow which is fitted with an 'A' frame and cover.

In addition to the stove in the saloon, Charis has central heating throughout.
