Step aboard Eclipse, a characterful 48ft traditional stern narrowboat built in 1991 by respected boat builder Stowe Hill. With her distinctive baby blue and navy exterior and a cratch cover over the bow deck, she’s a head-turner on the water and offers a wonderful opportunity for someone seeking a cosy live-aboard or a charming cruising vessel.
Entering from the stern, you’ll find a spacious engine room that doubles as a handy storage area. The bedroom features a fixed double bed with built-in drawers beneath, flanked by a storage cupboard and shelving units at either end—perfect for keeping things tidy and organised.
The bathroom is a standout space, fitted with a walk-in shower, a pump-out toilet with a brand new tank installed in 2024, and a unique copper bucket basin that adds a quirky, rustic touch.
The galley is well-equipped with a freestanding gas cooker and grill, a fridge, and a sink, with storage provided by undercounter and overhead cupboards. A side hatch offers extra ventilation and a lovely way to connect with the outdoors while cooking.
At the bow, the saloon awaits your personal touch. Currently unfurnished, it offers a blank canvas for the new owner to furnish and style to their taste. A solid fuel Morso stove is already in place, promising warmth and comfort through the colder months.
Throughout the boat, solid wood flooring adds to the rustic, homely feel, and a solar panel on the roof helps keep things energy-efficient and off-grid ready.
Eclipse is full of charm and potential—ideal for someone looking to make a boat their own while enjoying the character and craftsmanship of a well-built traditional narrowboat.
