Moonlight Shadow - Sold

Moonlight Shadow is a lovely, well-equipped 54ft semi-traditional narrowboat built in 1995 by renowned boatbuilders French & Peel. Thoughtfully laid out from stern to bow, this charming vessel offers comfort, character, and practical living space, making it ideal for weekend adventures, extended cruising, or full-time life on the water.

Bright and functional, the galley is well-appointed with everything needed for life on board. There’s a gas oven with a 4-burner hob for home-style cooking, a gas/12v fridge to keep your groceries cool, and a double sink for easy washing up. Overhead storage cupboards, a cutlery drawer, and under-counter cabinets provide generous space for pots, pans, and provisions. With an extractor fan to keep the air fresh, this is a practical and pleasant space to prepare meals.

The open-plan lounge diner is a cosy retreat, perfect for relaxing after a day on the cut. The comfortable L-shaped seating doubles up as a sleeping area thanks to two dismountable tables and a quick conversion into a double bed. Bookshelves, a four-drawer unit, and a shelf provide plenty of storage and display space for your favourite items. The heart of this room is the AGA Little Wenlock stove, offering both warmth and ambiance. There's even a 12v phone charger for modern convenience.

The master bedroom features a fixed double bed (6’3” x 4’) with handy storage beneath, plus overhead cupboards complete with reading lights. A large wardrobe with a built-in shelf gives you space to store clothing and essentials. The natural wood tones and clever use of space make this a calming and restful place to unwind.

The bathroom offers all the essentials in a smart, compact layout. It includes a pump-out toilet, wash hand basin, and shower, with an airing cupboard for towels and additional storage. Everything you need is right here, neatly tucked into a bright and efficient space.

At 54ft, Moonlight Shadow is a manageable size for handling and mooring, yet spacious enough to live aboard in comfort. The engine room is housed at the stern, and the semi-traditional layout provides both protection while cruising and a sociable space to enjoy the outdoors.

With its solid craftsmanship, homely interior, and all the essentials already in place, Moonlight Shadow is a delightful boat that’s ready to set off on new adventures. Whether you're looking for weekend escapes or a slower-paced lifestyle, this narrowboat has everything you need.
