The interior of this beautiful one-bedroomed 60ft widebeam canal boat has been lovingly designed by its owner, a craftsman carpenter. Considerable time and expense has been taken to create a serene home upon the water – carefully curating the space, with bespoke furniture and antique pieces that fit perfectly. The owners have given meticulous consideration to maintaining the boat as an open, clean and clutter-free home. It is made entirely of the highest quality Scandinavian birch ply and solid oak including the hand made kitchen and chaise sofa. All appliances and systems are high end, state of the art.
The bathroom, which feels like it would be as much at home in a Georgian townhouse as a boat, has the luxury of a full sized rolltop cast iron bath, with claw feet and reclaimed antique brass taps and shower fittings. The bedroom is home to a fitted double bed and open fitted wardrobe, as well as a large integrated stainless steel, insulated fresh water tank. There’s also access to the bow through a double opening.
The boat is heated by the latest Webasto Thermo high performance water heating system and calorifier. There are solar panels which allow for living completely off grid and sufficient for year-round cruising. There are antique, cast iron radiators throughout as well as a multifuel stove. She is almost entirely custom built and has all the features you would expect from a luxury craft.
