We are selling our beautiful, homely 50ft narrowboat of six years due to moving abroad for work. She is currently located in Paddington, London. Named Monet, our freshly painted narrowboat is in perfect condition and has been consistently maintained and upgraded over the past 6 years. Throughout that time, we have been continually cruising in and around London. Monet has made our time in London an amazing experience and a cosy and reliable home; we regret the need to sell. Set up for marina and off-grid living, and boasting a double bed, single bed and double bed sofa, she has enough space for singles, couples or more. We wish to sell our Monet to a buyer who loves her as much as we do.
