- 5 berth
- Location: Wrenbury Mill
A 58ft 2008 ABC Leisure Group 5 berth semi-traditional stern narrowboat. Available end October 2023.
At 58ft, this boat can cruise the entire network of the English canals and has spent most of her life so far carrying happy holidaymakers along the Llangollen Canal. She holds a valid Boat Safety Certificate until 2025.
Entering from the semi-traditional stern, there are 2 bedroom cabins with a bathroom between them for easy access from both. The first cabin has flexible bed bases and can be configured as either a double bed or 2 singles. The second bedroom is a fixed double berth, and both bedrooms have wardrobe space next to the beds.
The bathroom comes equipped with pump-out toilet, washbasin with storage space below, and a hip-bath with shower overhead.
Moving through the boat you come to a fully equipped galley with 4 burner gas cooker complete with grill and oven, refrigerator, sink and drainer, work surfaces and storage space.
Finally the dinette area at the bow has the flexibility of converting to an extra single bed, ideal for entertaining guests. A diesel-fuelled stove also features here for extra warmth in cooler weather.
Photographs are coming soon, but in the meantime the typical interior layout and virtual tour of the Heron class boat can be seen via https://www.abcboathire.com/our-boats/2-5-berth/alvechurch-heron.
