Scrumpy - Sold

Step aboard Scrumpy, a beautifully cared-for 55ft traditional stern narrowboat built in 1991 by the esteemed G & J Reeves. With a classic design and a warm, welcoming interior, Scrumpy is ideal for those seeking a peaceful life afloat or a comfortable boat for extended cruising. Her traditional layout flows seamlessly from stern to bow, offering defined spaces for living, dining, cooking, and sleeping – all thoughtfully arranged to maximise space and comfort.

At the heart of the boat, the galley is fully equipped with everything you need for day-to-day life on the water. A 4-burner hob, oven with grill, fridge, microwave, and washing machine are all built-in, along with double stainless steel sinks and plentiful storage cupboards. Whether you're preparing a simple breakfast or cooking up a hearty meal after a day’s cruise, this kitchen is more than up to the task.

The saloon offers a cosy retreat with a two-seater sofa bed providing additional sleeping space, an easy chair for relaxing, and a solid fuel stove that keeps the space warm and inviting on cooler days. A built-in TV unit with shelving adds functionality and charm, making it a comfortable area to unwind with a book or your favourite show.

Adjacent to the lounge is a compact dinette, cleverly designed with a lift-up table and two stools – perfect for meals, working from your laptop, or planning your next journey along the canal.

Moving forward, the master bedroom features a fixed double bed with storage underneath, overbed reading lights, and additional shelving and wardrobe space – a peaceful and practical area for restful nights on board. The nearby bathroom is neatly arranged with a shower, vanity sink unit, cassette toilet (with a spare cassette), and a laundry cupboard, offering all the essentials for life afloat.

At the stern, the traditional back cabin and engine room also provide storage for mooring equipment, keeping everything in its place and out of sight.

Scrumpy is more than just a boat – she’s a homely and well-looked-after floating retreat, ready to offer her next owner the joys of canal life with comfort and character. Whether you're dreaming of quiet moorings or slow adventures along the waterways, Scrumpy is ready to welcome you aboard.
