For sale, our lovely 55ft narrowboat Cassiopeia. Used as a full-time live-aboard until a new addition to our little family prompted us to move back onto land. We will be sad to see her go.
Walking in from the bow you’ll find a cratch cover in good condition. The well deck has been fitted out with decking which provides I lovely little spot to enjoy a coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. There is a drop down table and storage underneath the seats on both sides of the boat which we used for firewood.
Moving into the Saloon, a Morso Squirrel multifuel stove sits on the Starboard side and a TV unit/cupboard containing a CD MP3 player and storage sits on the Port side. Plentiful shelving also runs down the port side with a generous length sofa bed opposite. There is a breakfast bar with two stools and cupboards underneath, one of which houses the fully plumbed in twin-tub washing machine. The is custom-built shelving atop the breakfast bar for the storage of plates, mugs, utensils etc which also provides a nice visual break between the salon and the galley. The bus style windows in the Saloon and Galley are all double-glazed.
The galley contains a Vanette gas oven/grill with 4 ring hob, a sink with mixer tap and a second tap for drinking water which is filtered. The Morco instant water heater provides hot water to all taps and also to the shower in the bathroom. There is a 12v Shoreline fridge/freezer and an Alde comfort boiler that powers the gas central heating (heaters located in saloon, bathroom and bedroom). The hatch window is opposite the sink.
Walking through to the bedroom you will pass the bathroom on Port side. This has an Airhead composting toilet, a Moroccan tiled shower with filter shower-head and Turkish copper bowl sink with mixer tap. There is also a cupboard with shelving above. Both bathroom and bedroom feature porthole windows.
The bedroom has a cross bed which increases the overall space in the room. This has been custom built in the Ottoman style and lifts on gas struts to provide access to the plentiful storage underneath. There is shelving next to the bed with plug sockets and USB charging ports for phones/tablets. There is a pigeon box installed in the roof which provides additional light and airflow. There is also a desk with a shelf and fixed lights above. The stable door above the bed leads through to the engine room.
Navigation equipment includes barge poll, 4x mooring pins, 2x chains, 2x windlasses and 1x life ring.
A hull survey from 2022 is available for viewing upon request. The findings were very positive and showed minimal pitting.
Serious buyers only.
