  • £64,950.00
  • 6 Berth

Heron is a charming and practical narrowboat, measuring 59ft with a semi-traditional stern, offering a well-thought-out layout ideal for both liveaboard life and extended cruising. Designed with comfort and versatility in mind, Heron features multiple sleeping arrangements, efficient use of space, and all the essentials for life on the water.

Upon descending the stern steps, you enter the rear cabin, which can be configured as either a double berth or two singles, depending on your needs. This room includes under-bed storage and a shelf, making it a flexible and functional space for guests or family members. Moving forward, the bathroom is equipped with a toilet, hand basin, and a shower—compact yet practical for everyday use.

The mid-cabin features a fixed double berth with a shelf above the bed, offering a cosy and private sleeping area with additional storage options. This leads into the galley, which is well-equipped with a four-burner hob, sink, microwave, and an under-counter fridge. The layout makes excellent use of space, providing everything needed to prepare meals while on board.

Continuing through the boat, you arrive at the saloon—a warm and inviting space with a log burner and generous seating. This area is perfect for relaxing or entertaining, and it can also be converted into an additional sleeping area, offering either a single or a double berth. Radiators are fitted throughout the boat, ensuring a comfortable temperature year-round.

Heron offers a great combination of comfort and practically. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape or a full-time floating home on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, Heron is ready to welcome you aboard.

A Boat Safety Certificate (BSS) is valid until July 2029.
