Tuppence

Price: £46,000

A 55ft 2000 R&D Fabrications 4 berth traditional stern narrowboat.

Tuppence is an attractive, well presented traditional stern narrowboat, perfect as a floating home or for holidays.

She is painted in a rich navy and cream livery and was last blacked and had anodes fitted in August 2022.

Steps from the stern lead into a good sized engine room, superb for storage of everything a narrowboater could possibly need.

A door then leads to the bedroom area. This includes a double bed and there is also cupboard and wardrobe space. Following this there is a WC with a pump out toilet.

The bathroom follows on with a further pump out toilet, a wash basin and a shower cubicle.

Next there is a Pullman style dinette. This can be converted into a double berth, perfect for guests.

A well equipped galley comes with a gas cooker, grill and hob, a sink with a drainer and an undercounter fridge. There is ample worktop space and with above and below worktop cupboards.

The final cabin is the saloon. There is plenty of space for loose furniture. There is also a TV unit and a corner cabinet. Steps lead out to a cratch covered bow deck.

Tuppence has central heating throughout.

Note: a recent survey revealed some pitting to the hull and remedial action was recommended; the survey is available for prospective purchasers to view.

Viewing is highly recommended and can be arranged by contacting Blackwater Meadow Marina on 01691 624391.
