Adagio – Your Idyllic Floating Home
Adagio is a magnificent 60ft cruiser-stern narrowboat, expertly built by Collingwood to deliver the very highest standards of quality, comfort and style. From the moment you step aboard, you are welcomed into a space that perfectly blends timeless narrowboat charm with luxurious, modern living – an idyllic sanctuary on the water that feels as spacious and welcoming as any traditional home, with the freedom and tranquillity that only life afloat can bring.
Thoughtfully designed for seamless off-grid living, Adagio comes equipped with a powerful 950w solar array paired with two Victron MPPT controllers, giving you complete independence while retaining all the comforts you would expect from a premium residence. Every detail has been carefully considered: double-glazed windows fill the interior with natural light, sprayfoam insulation keeps you warm in every season, and high-quality laminate flooring flows throughout, offering both elegance and practicality. The steel hull – plated to a robust 10/6/5/4 specification – provides total peace of mind, while the flat-bottom design ensures smooth, steady travel along the waterways.
Powered by a reliable Canaline 38hp four-cylinder engine with keel cooling and a PRM 125 gearbox, manoeuvring is effortless thanks to a Vetus 55KGF bow thruster, making even the trickiest of moorings straightforward. A 175-litre diesel tank and 269-litre water capacity support extended trips away, while the comprehensive electrical system – including 12v and 240v circuits, a Sterling Pro Combi 2.5kw inverter, Victron battery monitor and a galvanic isolator – ensures every appliance runs smoothly wherever you are. Heating and hot water are delivered by a Webasto Thermo Top Eco 5kw system alongside a charming Morso Squirrel stove, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere on cooler days, with hot water supplied via calorifier, immersion or Webasto as needed.
The light-filled galley is fitted with premium appliances including a Belling cooker and Subcold fridge-freezer, ready for preparing meals from fresh or entertaining guests, while a Haier washer/dryer adds everyday convenience. Accommodation is designed for relaxed living and sleeping, offering a fixed double bed plus a sofa bed that provides comfortable berths for four people – perfect for couples, families or hosting friends. The walkthrough bathroom features a cassette toilet, vanity basin and shower, with a side hatch for ventilation. Practical extras include a pram cover and cratch cover, and the boat has been professionally blacked with 2pac in 2023, with a Boat Safety Certificate valid until June 2028 and full Recreational Craft Directive compliance.
Moored in Staffordshire and available to view now, Adagio represents a rare opportunity to acquire a high-specification narrowboat that is ready to become your perfect floating home – whether you are seeking a permanent residence, a peaceful retreat or a base for exploring the UK’s beautiful canal network at your leisure.
