Price: £54,950

A 58ft 2008 ABC Leisure Group 5 berth semi-traditional stern narrowboat.

Available October 2024.

At 58ft, this boat can cruise the entire network of the English canals and has spent her life so far carrying happy holidaymakers along the Llangollen Canal. She holds a valid Boat Safety Certificate until February 2027.

Entering from the semi-traditional stern, there are 2 bedroom cabins with a bathroom between them for easy access from both. The first cabin has flexible bed bases and can be configured as either a double bed or 2 singles. The second bedroom is a fixed double berth, and both bedrooms have wardrobe space next to the beds.

The bathroom comes equipped with pump-out toilet, washbasin with storage space below, and a hip-bath with shower overhead.

The next cabin is a fixed double bedroom. This also has a storage cupboard. There is also a beautifully ornate side hatch for extra ventilation.

Moving through the boat you come to a fully equipped galley with 4 burner gas cooker complete with grill and oven, refrigerator, sink and drainer, work surfaces and storage space. This cabin has been recently refurbished with new vinyl flooring, worktops, tiles and Thetford hob.

Finally the dinette area at the bow has the flexibility of converting to an extra single bed, ideal for entertaining guests. A diesel-fuelled stove also features here for extra warmth in cooler weather.

This boat had new Flotex carpeting throughout in January 2024.

The virtual tour is of a typical ABC Heron Class Boat.

Viewings will be arranged around hire periods and turnaround times. To arrange a viewing or make an enquiry, please contact Whitchurch Marina on 01948 662012.
