Description

Introducing Emperor Goose, a spacious 70ft semi-traditional narrowboat built by Alvechurch and currently moored in Staffordshire. Offering generous internal space and a versatile additional room at the stern—ideal as a saloon, workspace or extra bedroom—she presents an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking to personalise a well-proportioned liveaboard or cruising vessel. With a semi-trad stern and dimensions of 70ft by 6ft 10in, she combines practical cruising with flexible onboard living.

The accommodation provides up to five berths, including a fixed double bed and single bunk, with an L-shaped dinette that converts into a further double berth to the bow. The galley is fitted with a Hotpoint cooker, Inlander fridge and laminate worktops, while laminate and vinyl flooring run throughout. The bathroom includes a compost toilet, vanity basin and hip bath with shower over, offering practical facilities for extended stays aboard.

Powered by an Isuzu 42hp four-cylinder diesel engine with PRM gearbox and keel cooling, Emperor Goose has a fuel capacity of approximately 250 litres and a water tank of around 1,000 litres. Hot water is supplied via a calorifier and immersion, with heating from an Eberspacher system (due a service) and a solid fuel stove with reco heat. The electrical system includes 12v and 240v, a 2.5kw inverter, one starter and five leisure batteries, plus an impressive 1000w solar array with MPPT controller.

Constructed in steel with a flat bottom hull and top-opening windows, she offers scope for cosmetic updating while already providing the essentials for comfortable life afloat. She was last blacked in 2020 and holds a Boat Safety Certificate valid until 2029. A side hatch adds extra light and access to the cabin.

Emperor Goose is a roomy and capable narrowboat with huge potential, ideal for those seeking space and flexibility to create their own floating home.
