Storm Child is a charming 40ft Narrowboat, built in 2000 by John White Boat Builders and fitted out by Jack Snowden Builders. Offering a practical and comfortable layout, she is ideally suited to leisurely cruising, weekend escapes and extended holidays afloat. The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, with a fixed double berth within the aft master cabin, followed by a bathroom complete with a Thetford cassette toilet. A walk-through galley sits midships, leading through to a bright and inviting forward saloon. Here, the port-side bench seating can be converted to provide a further double berth, allowing Storm Child to comfortably accommodate up to four people. Propulsion is provided by a Thornycroft 25hp three-cylinder diesel engine, while onboard heating is provided by a diesel-fired central heating system. Hot water is supplied via the engine calorifier and central heating system. Storm Child benefits from both 12V and 240V electrical systems, providing the convenience and flexibility expected for comfortable life afloat. A delightful Narrowboat with four comfortable berths, Storm Child offers an appealing opportunity for anyone looking to enjoy relaxed cruising, family adventures or their first step into life on the waterways.

An overhead storage cupboard with reading spotlights sits above the bed, while an aft wardrobe provides useful hanging space. Under-bed drawers offer additional storage and make excellent use of the available space.

The walk-through bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower assembly, complemented by stylish brass-coloured taps. A hand basin is set within a vanity unit, with matching brass-coloured taps and a mirrored storage cabinet above. A Thetford cassette toilet provides practical onboard facilities, while a pigeon box positioned above the bathroom introduces additional natural light and ventilation.

Galley

The well-appointed walk-through galley provides everything required for comfortable living and extended stays aboard. The galley is equipped with a surface-mounted four-burner gas hob, built-in gas grill and oven, and a kitchen sink with matching brass-coloured taps. A fridge with ice box provides useful food storage, while the starboard-side hatch brings additional natural light and ventilation into the galley, making the space particularly pleasant when preparing meals and cooking onboard.

Located forward, the bright and welcoming saloon benefits from direct access onto the bow well deck, which is fitted with a cratch board and cover. Built-in port bench seating provides comfortable seating during the day and can be converted to form a double berth, offering additional sleeping accommodation for two when required. An AMPS DF30 30-litre drawer-style fridge is conveniently positioned below the seating.
