Comentario del broker
This 50ft Stowe Hill narrowboat, built in 1986 by the respected Stowe Hill Marine, presents as a solid, straightforward craft with a good deal of potential.
Stowe Hill boats from this era are well-regarded for their quality steelwork, traditional styling, and robust fit-outs, and this example appears no exception in terms of structure and engineering.
Internally, the vessel is part-way through a cosmetic refresh. It is not a project in the structural or mechanical sense - rather, it would simply benefit from a thorough redecoration to bring the accommodation up to a more contemporary standard. The existing layout is perfectly usable as is, central shower room, galley, a forward cabin (with double bed) and stove. However, the boat offers an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking to personalise the interior without undertaking major works.
Externally, the boat would also benefit from a full repaint, which would greatly enhance its overall presentation. Believed to be blacked in 2024 a fresh coat of paint would complete the rejuvenation.
The forward cabin currently serves as a bedroom, but I can see real merit in reconfiguring this into an additional lounge or day space. Installing a sofa bed in place of the fixed berth would open up a comfortable seating area centred around the multi fuel stove, making a very cosy front saloon.
The BMC 1800 diesel engine is a well-known, reliable workhorse and is widely regarded for its simplicity and ease of maintenance. Although hours are unrecorded, the installation appears conventional and tidy.
Tank sizes are estimated based on comparable Stowe Hill vessels of the period, with fuel capacity likely in the region of ~ 200L and water capacity approximately ~500–700L.
Overall, this is a sensibly priced, well-built narrowboat that offers a solid platform for a buyer wanting something immediately usable but with clear scope for improving and personalising the space.
A great opportunity to acquire a reputable make with good bones at a competitive entry level price.
