Interior Arrangements

First Double Cabin (Aft)

Entering from the traditional-style stern, the aft cabin features a comfortable fixed ottoman-style double berth. Storage is provided by overhead cupboards both forward and aft, complemented by individual reading spotlights to create a practical and relaxing sleeping space.

Bathroom

A surprisingly spacious and contemporary bathroom is fitted with a Thetford electric-flush cassette toilet, a hand basin set within a vanity unit with single-lever stainless-steel mixer tap, and two mirrored storage cabinets. Opposite is a generously sized shower cubicle with glass screen, providing excellent onboard comfort.

Second Double Cabin

A great feature of this 60ft Narrowboat is the second double cabin, located midships. This cabin also benefits from a fixed ottoman-style double berth with overhead cupboards both forward and aft, along with individual reading spotlights, offering excellent accommodation flexibility for family or guests.

Galley

The U-shaped galley is well equipped with a surface-mounted Country Leisure 9 Series four-burner gas hob, with a built-in Belling gas grill and oven beneath. Additional features include a stainless-steel kitchen sink with draining board and single-lever mixer tap, a 12V fridge with ice box, and good-sized storage cupboards. A port side hatch allows plenty of natural light and ventilation while cooking.

Saloon

Forward, the saloon offers direct access onto a generously sized bow well deck with integral lockers, ideal for storage or seating while enjoying the surroundings and is fitted with a full cratch board and cover. The open-plan arrangement provides ample space for free-standing furniture such as armchairs or a sofa bed. A multifuel stove mounted on a tiled hearth is positioned to port, with a corner storage unit with a TV opposite. Under-gunnel shelving provides additional practical storage.
