Wilmcote Arcacia

A 50ft 1985 Mike Haywood 4 berth traditional stern narrowboat

  • £39,950.00
  • 4 Berth

Wilmcote Arcacia is a smartly presented traditional stern narrowboat, finished in a sleek black exterior that gives her a classic, striking appearance on the water.

Boarding from the cruiser stern, you first enter the engine room, which leads directly into the main bedroom. This cosy space features a fixed double bed and a porthole that brings in natural light.

Next is the modern shower room, equipped with a walk-in shower and curtain, a pump-out toilet, and a contemporary round wash basin—offering both practicality and a touch of style.

Continuing through the boat, the galley provides ample workspace, fitted with a 4-burner Calor gas cooker, sunken sink, and a fridge freezer. Wooden countertops contrast nicely with white kitchen cupboards, creating a clean, functional design.

A log burner with decorative Aztec tiles adds warmth and charm to the living space.

At the bow, the saloon features a sofa bed that converts into a double, offering additional sleeping space and a comfortable area to relax. This leads directly to the bow front, perfect for enjoying the outdoors.

Inside, the boat features traditional oak panelling on the sides and ceiling from the stern forward, transitioning to a fresh white and blue colour scheme in the saloon, enhancing the light and airy feel of the space.

A Boat Safety Certificate is valid until December 2028.
