Bluebell is a charming 41ft cruiser stern Narrowboat built in 2002 by Eastern Caravans & Narrowboats. Featuring a practical and comfortable forward layout, she is ideally suited to leisure cruising, weekend escapes, or extended holidays afloat. The accommodation is arranged with a fixed double berth in the aft master cabin, followed by a bathroom fitted with a pump-out toilet. A well-equipped L-shaped galley sits midships, leading into a bright and inviting saloon forward, where port and starboard bench seating converts to form an across-width double berth, allowing the boat to comfortably accommodate up to four. Propulsion is provided by a Beta Marine 38hp four-cylinder diesel engine. Cabin heating is delivered by a multifuel stove in the saloon, complemented by a Webasto warm air system. Hot water is supplied via the engine calorifier and a 240V immersion heater. The vessel benefits from both 12V and 240V electrical systems, ensuring modern onboard convenience.
