A well proportioned traditional narrowboat, featuring shapely steelwork from the renowned Mike Heywood, a craftsman instrumental in training other prolific boat builders such as Jonathan Wilson. The fit-out is by Malcolm Till of Associated Cruisers, finished in a mix of oak and ash ply with dark hardwood framing and decorative carpentry detail throughout. Owned by the same family from new, Tambourine has provided years of comfortable leisure cruising. Built in the traditional layout, the permanent double berth is located at the aft, with the bedroom also benefitting from a generous double wardrobe. The shower room is fitted with a cassette toilet, vanity unit with washbasin and shower cubicle. An instantaneous gas water heater provides continuous hot water, while the cabin is kept cosy by a solid fuel stove supplemented by blown air diesel heating. The galley has ample workspace, a compact 12V fridge and a gas cooker. Forward, the saloon/dinette features L-shaped seating which converts to provide additional overnight accommodation for guests. Tambourine would make an ideal first narrowboat or a manageable and comfortable option for those looking to downsize.
