Jigsaw - £45,000

Jigsaw is a beautifully renovated 50ft traditional stern narrowboat, built by renowned boatbuilder Mike Haywood. Designed with continuous cruising and comfortable liveaboard life in mind, she combines classic craftsmanship with a bright, modern interior and practical off-grid capabilities.

Inside, the boat has been thoughtfully refurbished to a high standard, featuring solid wooden flooring throughout, a contemporary finish, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Freshly painted and varnished floors complement the quality interior, while all furniture, fixtures and fittings are included in the sale, making Jigsaw a truly turnkey opportunity for her next owner.

With an impressive solar setup, Jigsaw is well-equipped for off-grid cruising, providing greater independence whether you're exploring the waterways full-time or enjoying extended holidays afloat. A survey was completed in 2023, and the hull was blacked in 2024, offering added peace of mind.

The galley is both practical and well-appointed, featuring generous under-counter storage, a sink with drainer, a freestanding oven, a 12V fridge, and both 12V and 240V sockets. A side hatch to port brings in natural light and fresh air while creating the perfect serving hatch on warmer days.

The saloon offers a cosy retreat with a multi-fuel stove, a brand-new two-seater sofa, and a display unit for additional storage. The dinette includes useful storage beneath the seating and easily converts into a single berth, allowing the boat to comfortably accommodate up to three people.

The bedroom features a comfortable double bed with generous storage beneath, a hanging rail for clothing, and a side hatch to starboard for additional ventilation and natural light. Newly made porthole bungs and fresh bedding complete this inviting cabin.

The bathroom is compact yet functional, comprising a shower with curtain, cassette toilet, and wash basin.

Powered by a reliable four-cylinder Thornycroft BMC water-cooled engine with a PRM gearbox, Jigsaw offers dependable cruising performance. She also benefits from a 400-litre water tank, repainted in 2023.

If you're searching for a stylish, well-maintained narrowboat that's ready to cruise or move aboard immediately, Jigsaw is an excellent choice, offering character, comfort and practical off-grid living in equal measure.
