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.
PLEASE NOTE ; Emperor Goose has been priced to reflect work required including replacing the bilge pump, gritblasting and 2pac epoxy baseplate and hull sides, deep pit welding, remove shoe plate and replace with bar. Approximate cost for the above works would be £6,700.
