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. A delightful and manageable narrowboat offering four comfortable berths, Bluebell represents an excellent opportunity for those seeking relaxed cruising or their first venture onto the waterways. Now available to view at Pyrford Marina. To arrange a viewing, please contact the team on 01932 343275.
