The Duchess

New

Price: £35,000

A 45ft 1967 Braine Boatbuliders 2 berth traditional stern narrowboat.

This part finished boat would be an ideal project for someone to complete. She is painted in a blue and white livery with a complimenting navy blue cratch cover at the bow.

The Duchess has a Boat Safety Certificate valid until July 2023.

As you enter the boat from the stern, the engine bay is unfinished, this will need deck boards fitting. It houses a Petter engine and has space for extra storage.

Inside starts with the sleeping cabin with a fixed double bed and various storage compartments.

Along the corridor there is an unfinished bathroom with a shower tray with over head shower, Porta Potti and an unplumbed ceramic hand basin.

There is also a side hatch opposite the bathroom, perfect for extra ventilation on those hazy summer days or when cooking up a storm in the galley that follows.

The galley is attractively decorated and comes equipped with a free standing gas oven/grill/hob, stainless steel sink, fridge freezer and various areas for storage.

Along from the galley is the saloon with a solid fuel burning stove for additional heating, a two seater settee, shelves and a drop leaf table.

Double doors lead you out onto the front deck with seating either side and a cratch cover.

The Duchess has central heating throughout.
