48ft Traditional Narrowboat – Fantastic Project / Liveaboard Opportunity

A fantastic opportunity to put your own stamp on this 48ft traditional stern narrowboat, built by Teddesley Boats in 1977.

Offering a surprisingly spacious, light and open-plan interior, she already has the foundations of a comfortable boat, including a fitted galley, bathroom with shower and cassette toilet, plus a solid fuel stove.

At her heart is a characterful 3-cylinder air-cooled Lister diesel engine which runs well – a real plus for a boat of this age.

The cabin sides and roof have recently been repainted, giving a great starting point for the next owner to concentrate on the interior and turn her into something special.

Ideal for a skilled DIY enthusiast or an amateur looking for a rewarding first project, she represents a very affordable route into narrowboat ownership. Refit her to your own taste and create a weekend escape, leisure boat or characterful liveaboard home without the price tag of a finished boat.

A proper project with bags of potential – running Lister, plenty of space and a blank canvas ready for its next chapter.
