Sans Souci

Price: £39,000

A 44ft 1994 Gary Gorton 4 berth traditional stern narrowboat.

Sans Souci is a compact, well presented narrowboat that has been in the possession of one careful owner for 29 years. Her warm wooden interior gives a traditional, cosy feel to this boat.

As you descend from the traditional stern, you first enter a Boatman's Cabin. This is a great place to store all the paraphernalia that is required for life on the canals.

The bedroom follows on from this. In this cabin there is a double bed, with plenty of storage both below and at the foot of the bed.

The neatly tiled bathroom comes fitted with a shower, wash basin and drop through toilet.

A good sized galley follows. This comes equipped with a gas oven/grill, 4 burner hob, fridge and a sink and drainer. There is also an additional fold down worktop and 2 folding chairs. There is plenty of storage in the form of under and above counter units.

The last cabin is the saloon in which there is a Morso Squirrel stove, fixed seating that can be converted into a bed, if required a TV, radio/CD player and storage units.

Steps then lead you out onto the bow deck that has bench style seating on either side.

In addition to the stove, Sans Souci has central heating throughout.

Sans Souci has a Boat Safety Certificate, valid until July 2025.
