Dreems

A 28ft 1978 Hancock & Lane 2 berth cruiser stern narrowboat

  • £25,000.00
  • 2 Berth

Dreems is a cute 28ft cruiser stern narrowboat built in 1978 by the renowned Hancock & Lane. Painted in a cheerful red and blue livery, she brings a splash of colour to the waterways and is equipped with a solar panel for added convenience.

At the stern, a bench seat offers the perfect spot for the helmsman to enjoy the view while cruising.

Step inside and you’ll find a beautifully open-plan interior finished with oak flooring and cedar-clad walls, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. To the left as you enter is a discreet cupboard housing a cassette toilet. Moving forward, the galley features a sink, two-burner hob, oven, and wooden worktops with undercounter storage, making it practical yet stylish. A cosy log-burning stove sits beyond the galley, ideal for keeping the cabin snug on cooler days.

At the bow, a padded seating area provides a relaxing space to unwind and easily converts into a comfortable single berth for overnight stays. The other temporary single can be the boxed area to the right as you go into the boat. Compact yet cleverly designed, Dreems is perfect for weekend getaways or leisurely cruising, offering character and charm in a manageable size.
