Bramble - £52,000

Bramble is a beautifully presented 62ft traditional stern narrowboat, expertly crafted by Nick Thorpe in 2003. With a reliable Beta Marine 43hp engine, a robust heating system, and a well-equipped electrical setup including a Victron 3kw inverter and four solar panels, Bramble is ready to take you on comfortable adventures across the waterways. This boat has been lovingly maintained and offers the ideal setup for long-term life afloat.

The bedroom provides a cosy and practical retreat with a fixed double bed featuring storage underneath, ideal for stowing away clothing or spare linens. A double wardrobe offers ample hanging space, while fitted cupboards provide additional storage for personal items. Thoughtfully arranged, this room is both spacious and functional, perfect for relaxing after a day on the water.

Bramble’s bathroom is designed with flexibility and comfort in mind. It features a cassette toilet for convenience, as well as an additional pump-out toilet with a macerator should it be preferred. The shower cubicle offers a modern and clean space for daily use, and the sink with vanity unit provides storage and style in equal measure. This well-appointed bathroom is ideal for life on board, whether you’re moored up or on the move.

The galley is well-equipped for liveaboard life and long journeys. It includes a 240v fridge and a Hoover washer/dryer to make everyday chores easier. A water filtration system ensures you always have access to clean drinking water, and the galley is heated with a reliable diesel stove, adding both warmth and charm. With generous worktop space and integrated appliances, the galley combines practicality with homely comfort.

The saloon is a warm, welcoming space thoughtfully set up for extended cruising. Ample built-in storage makes it easy to keep the area clutter-free. The lounge benefits from a side hatch that brings in natural light and fresh air, and the space is warmed by a solid fuel stove, adding a cosy ambience during cooler months. There’s plenty of room to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the scenery through the windows.

Bramble is a lovely example of a narrowboat that’s fully equipped for continuous cruising and long-term living. Whether you're a first-time buyer or looking to upgrade to a boat with a proven track record, this charming and capable vessel is well worth viewing.
