Description
Florence was built in 2005 by Canal Transport Services, with a traditional layout that will appeal to those seeking a classic narrowboat experience. At 70ft in length, she offers generous living space, including a fixed double berth and an additional guest berth in the characterful back cabin. The interior reflects a practical owner fit-out, providing a comfortable and functional living environment with scope for personalisation. The saloon and living areas offer ample room for relaxation, while the traditional layout enhances her charm and usability for extended cruising or life aboard. The galley is well equipped with a Vanette gas hob, oven and grill, a 240v LEC fridge, and a washing machine, making her suitable for longer stays on board. The bathroom includes a bath with overhead shower and a cassette toilet, offering flexibility and comfort rarely found in many narrowboats. Heating is provided by a Hurricane central heating system, complemented by two solid fuel stoves (Epping and Squirrel), ensuring warmth throughout the boat in all seasons. Hot water is supplied via a calorifier, supported by a large 600L water tank. Electrical systems include a Mastervolt 1500w inverter and a 3.5kW Electrolux Travel Pack, with domestic and starter batteries configured on a 24v system, providing reliable onboard power. A standout feature of Florence is her Gardner 2LW engine, paired with a Gardner H8 gearbox. These engines are highly regarded within the inland waterways community for their exceptional reliability, fuel efficiency, and robust vintage engineering. For many enthusiasts, the presence of a Gardner engine alone makes Florence a particularly desirable and characterful vessel. Externally, she comes equipped with a full range of cruising essentials including anchor, gang plank, windlasses, mooring equipment, and safety gear. Florence represents a rare opportunity to acquire a traditional narrowboat with a sought-after Gardner engine, offering both character and capability for those who truly appreciate classic canal boating.
