Shropshire Lily - Sold

Step aboard Shropshire Lily, a beautifully crafted 55ft cruiser stern narrowboat built in 2005 by Maesbury Marine Services Ltd. Presented in a charming shabby chic / cottage style, she offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with the highly desirable reverse layout. Whether you're looking for a full-time liveaboard or a peaceful getaway for weekends and holidays, Shropshire Lily is well-suited to either lifestyle. With just a little cosmetic TLC, she has the potential to become a truly stunning home on the water.

The galley, located at the stern, is both practical and stylish. It features a clean enamel white sink and drainer with a modern mixer tap, alongside a two-burner gas hob, 12v fridge, and a toaster. Recently fitted wooden worktops add a touch of rustic charm, while ample high and low-level storage ensures everything has its place, making onboard living easy and convenient.

Moving forward into the dinette and saloon, you'll find a comfortable L-shaped dinette which cleverly converts into a small double bed, perfect for guests. A compact solid fuel stove provides warmth and a cosy ambiance on cooler evenings, while a built-in TV and generous storage options complete this multifunctional space, ideal for dining, relaxing, or entertaining.

Midships, the bathroom is equipped with a hip bath and shower over, a cassette toilet (with a spare cassette for added convenience), and a wash basin set into a practical vanity unit. There's also plenty of storage for all your essentials, offering both function and comfort.

At the bow, the bedroom is a true retreat, featuring a fixed double bed with storage beneath, a Morso Squirrel solid fuel stove for toasty nights, a wardrobe, and a sofa for relaxing or reading. Glazed doors lead out onto a cratch-covered well deck, creating a peaceful space to enjoy your morning coffee or evening sunset by the water.

Shropshire Lily is more than just a boat—she’s a floating haven full of charm and potential. With a thoughtful layout and timeless style, she's waiting for her next owner to bring her to life. Get in touch today to arrange a viewing and see her charm for yourself.
