Description
Step aboard Fellows & Buxton — a stunning 57ft cruiser stern narrowboat, built by the highly regarded Collingwood, and presented as a bright, welcoming floating home ready for you to move straight in. Light, open, and thoughtfully designed throughout, she offers a wonderful balance of modern comfort and classic canal charm, with spacious living that feels fresh and inviting from the moment you step aboard.
Measuring 57ft by 6ft 10in with a practical cruiser stern layout, there’s plenty of room to relax, entertain, and make yourself at home. The interior is bright and airy, finished with ply cabin sides, a warm mix of wooden and carpeted flooring, sprayfoam insulation, and large top-opening windows that flood the space with natural light. There are two fixed berths in the main bedroom with a double bed, plus the flexible saloon layout means there’s easily space for extra guests or a second sleeping area — perfect for couples, families, or anyone who loves having friends aboard.
The galley is well laid out and fully equipped for everyday living, fitted with a Thetford Midi Prima cooker, Belling hob, Bosch microwave, and separate fridge / freezer — all the modern conveniences you need, neatly arranged and ready to use. The walk-through bathroom is a thoughtful design feature, housing a shower, vanity basin, and cassette toilet, making access and daily use easy and convenient.
Built for reliability and year-round comfort, Fellows & Buxton is exceptionally well specified. Power comes from a Canaline 42hp four-cylinder engine paired with a PRM 150 gearbox, and she’s fitted with a Vetus 55KGF bow thruster for effortless manoeuvring — ideal whether you’re navigating busy stretches or settling into a new mooring. Heating and hot water are handled by a dependable Webasto system, supplemented by a charming Morso Squirrel solid fuel stove to gather around on cooler evenings. Electric power is robust and versatile, with 12v and 240v systems backed by a Victron Multiplus 3kW inverter, supported by one starter battery, three leisure batteries, and a dedicated bow thruster battery — all designed to keep you running smoothly wherever you cruise.
Launched and blacked in 2022 with 10/6/4 steel plating and a flat-bottom hull, she remains in excellent condition — a build that feels as good as the day she left the yard and ready for many years of adventures ahead. Additional practical touches include a pram cover and side hatch, making the most of both indoor and outdoor living space. Fuel capacity is 170 litres and water capacity 269 litres, giving you good range for longer trips.
Moored in Staffordshire and priced at £89,950, Fellows & Buxton is a beautiful example of a modern Collingwood cruiser — fresh, spacious, and truly turnkey. She’s waiting for her new owners to make their mark and create memories on the water.
