70 Foot Narrowboat

Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE Jack of Hearts, built by Jonathan Wilson in 1990, has been home for the last five years and has been a joy to own and live in, travelling up and down the Grand Union as a continuous cruiser. She is currently in the Hemel Hempstead area which is easy for viewing by car or public transport. She was stripped and re-fitted with new insulation and decoration in 2017/18 and is ideally suited to permanent live aboard life, either for family living with her middle bunk room (currently used as storage/hobby room) and sofa bed in addition to the main bedroom, or as a spacious floating home for singles or couples. The 2 stoves are ideal for the cold winter days and keep the boat warm throughout the night. Most evenings the one stove is enough though to keep you warm.
The lounge / kitchen area has wooden and tiled flooring so no need to worry about muddy boots and / or paws. There are 2 flower boxes on the roof and a sizeable storage box which can turn into a roof bench, perfect for lazy sunny afternoons or for an alfresco dinner with the best views. It’s been the envy of many passers by.
