40 Foot Narrowboat / Canal Boat Based In London - Ideal Liveaboard

Dragonfly - 3 berth 40 foot steel Narrowboat with traditional stern. Ideal live aboard. Ideal length for Londons busy waterways as she is easy to moor and can turn around in the width of the canal.

A stainless steel diesel fired stove located to the left can be used for additional heating if you don't want to run the central heating. This is convenient as it uses fuel from the main tank and does not require electricity. From here you walk into the kitchen/galley which is equipped with a 12v Fridge/freezer, 2 burner hob, gas cooker and grill, belfast sink with cover, worktops and cupboards for storage. A 2 door hatch is to your left with further cupboards underneath and a window over the sink.

- Eberspacher diesel fired central heating- Diesel fired stove - Gas boiler for hot water The boat hull was last blacked 2 years ago so is due for another blacking this year. This boat has been my pride and joy for the past nine years but reluctantly I need to sell her now as I'm moving away from London. I have spent close to 60k on this boat over the years - New engine, new skin-tank for better cooling, new central heating system, new electrics including inverter/charger, refitted inside including wet room, new kitchen, new external paint, all pumps have been replaced (water, shower, bilge) plus many other things. This boat is solid and nothing needs doing mechanically or maintenance wise other than the hull blacking (should cost about 400 pounds). Please call if you have any questions - Nick - 0phone
