Poppy

A 53ft 2005 Stoke on Trent Boatbuilders 4 berth traditional stern narrowboat.

  • £42,000.00
  • 4 Berth

A wonderful opportunity to purchase this handsome and well-presented narrowboat. Although equipped with all the usual modern comforts, Poppy was built and furnished in a traditional 'Roses & Castles' livery and style, with polished wood interiors throughout contributing to the classic 'boating life' feel.

The boat boasts a reverse layout, meaning that the first cabin after entering from the stern is the galley (handy for making drinks for the skipper!) This comes with full-sized oven, Belfast sink and draining board, storage and worktop space, and a fridge plus a freezer.

Adjacent to the galley is a dinette with a side hatch next to it. This can be converted to provide a double bed, if required. To the side is a row of three sizeable central heating radiators, with brass rails across the top that can be used for drying towels or laundry if needed.

There is a cosy saloon, furnished with two sturdy wooden armchairs, both charmingly decorated with roses on the woodwork. A second side hatch features here, as well as a solid fuel stove for cosy evenings afloat.

Before reaching the bedroom, a walk-through bathroom is equipped with a smart and colourful tiled shower, a pump out toilet, and a vanity unit with washbasin and tiling.
Finally, there is a bedroom with a hatch opening out onto the bow of the boat. This can be configured either as 2 single beds or one double bed.

Viewing of this delightful floating home is highly recommended - please contact Fenny Marina on 01527 876438.
