Description
Meet Bwthyn Dwr — a beautifully presented 54ft cruiser stern narrowboat, crafted by the renowned Stoke on Trent Boatbuilders. A true classic with timeless appeal, she offers generous, well-planned living space and a thoughtful layout that makes her equally ideal as a cosy liveaboard, a peaceful cruising retreat, or even a flexible floating home-and-work base on the water.
Stretching 54ft by 6ft 10in, her interior features charming tongue-and-groove cabin sides that bring warmth and character to every room, with a mix of carpet and vinyl flooring balancing comfort and practicality. Carefully designed to maximise every inch of space, she includes a dedicated area at the stern currently used as a bright, functional office — perfect if you work from home, run your own business, or simply need a quiet spot to relax and create.
Powered by the robust, reliable Lister ST3 three-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine, she’s built for dependable cruising along the canal network and beyond. Her practical engineering is matched by excellent onboard comfort: heating and hot water are fully taken care of via a Webasto system, solid-fuel stove, calorifier, and immersion heater, so you’ll stay warm and comfortable whatever the season. Power is equally well provided for — with 12v and 240v systems, a Renogy 3kW inverter/charger, four 200W solar panels, and a healthy battery bank, you can enjoy extended periods off-grid without compromise.
The galley is fully equipped and ready for daily life, featuring a cooker, fridge/freezer running on 240v, and a Zanussi washing machine — all the conveniences of home in a compact, clever space. Accommodation offers a fixed double bedroom sleeping two comfortably, with real potential to add further berths should you need space for family or guests. The bathroom is well-appointed with a porcelain cassette toilet with electric flush, shower, and vanity basin, completing the practical, welcoming living arrangement.
Well maintained and ready to enjoy, Bwthyn Dwr was blacked in 2025 and holds a Boat Safety Certificate valid until 2027. Additional thoughtful touches include a bespoke cratch cover and two water tanks — one stainless steel, one plastic — holding approximately 100 gallons combined, plus a diesel fuel tank of around 40 gallons.
Graceful, practical, and ready to make new memories, Bwthyn Dwr is a wonderful opportunity to own a characterful, well-found narrowboat at an attractive price. Moored in Cambridgeshire and waiting for her next owners, she deserves your early attention — get in touch today to arrange a viewing and discover life on the water with Bwthyn Dwr.
