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 double berth for overnight stays. Compact yet cleverly designed, Dreems is perfect for weekend getaways or leisurely cruising, offering character and charm in a manageable size.
