Rupsie Jane - Sold

Step aboard Rupsie Jane, a beautifully restored 48’ traditional narrowboat originally built in 1985 by the esteemed David Piper boat builders. With her classic lines and high-quality steelwork, she retains all the charm of a heritage vessel while boasting a full modern refit completed by her current owners. Designed with both comfort and functionality in mind, Rupsie Jane is perfectly suited for extended cruising or life afloat.

Inside, the open-plan galley is bright and inviting, thanks to two side hatches that allow sunlight and fresh air to flood the space. Newly fitted with practicality in mind, the kitchen features a stylish wooden worktop, under-counter oven and two-ring hob, plus a Montpellier fridge and freezer neatly tucked beneath the counter. With plentiful drawers and storage options, it’s a well-thought-out space for preparing meals on the move.

The lounge is a cosy retreat, centred around a traditional multi-fuel stove with a tiled surround—ideal for curling up in colder months. A comfortable two-seater sofa bed offers a flexible sleeping arrangement for guests, while the open flow of the layout creates a real sense of space. Opposite the lounge, a clever pull-out dinette provides the perfect nook for dining or working, seamlessly tucked away when not in use.

At the stern, the master bedroom offers a peaceful and private escape. The fixed double bed has generous storage space beneath, while a large built-in wardrobe provides ample room for clothing and essentials. There’s also direct access to the rear deck, ideal for morning coffees or sunset views.

The bathroom is compact yet cleverly designed, with a fully tiled finish that adds a touch of luxury. It includes a half bath with an overhead shower, a stylish sink unit, and a compost toilet—making off-grid living both eco-friendly and comfortable.

Lovingly renovated and thoughtfully laid out, Rupsie Jane is full of character and ready for her next chapter—whether that's leisurely adventures or life on the cut.
