Heron

Heron is a charming and well-presented 35ft traditional stern narrowboat, built in 2005 by Bettisfield Boats. With her smart navy and cream livery accented by red coachlines, she’s a boat that turns heads on the cut and offers a beautifully balanced mix of comfort and practicality in a manageable size.

Stepping aboard from the stern, the rear cabin features a single bench-style seat that easily converts into a single berth, alongside useful storage space — ideal for guests or for use as a flexible area. Moving forward, you’ll find a neat and well-appointed bathroom with a vanity unit, pump-out toilet, and a curtained shower cubicle, all cleanly designed and easy to maintain.

The galley is compact but well thought-out, fitted with a gas cooker and hob, a sink with drainer unit, and a fridge. There’s a surprising amount of worktop space for a boat of this length, complemented by practical under-counter storage, making it a great space for preparing meals onboard.

The saloon is bright and welcoming, with an L-shaped dinette that includes a removable table and converts easily into a double bed. Double doors lead out onto the bow deck, offering the perfect spot for a morning coffee or evening drink by the water. Central heating runs throughout the boat, ensuring it stays warm and comfortable even in the colder months.

One of Heron’s most appealing qualities is her light and airy feel, thanks to an abundance of windows that flood the interior with natural light. She offers a wonderful opportunity for anyone seeking a tidy, ready-to-go narrowboat — whether for weekend cruising, extended holidays, or even as a compact liveaboard.
