Description
Introducing Precious Time, a striking 70ft traditional stern narrowboat built by Paul Widdeson with an interior fitout by Fernwood Craft. Moored in beautiful Staffordshire, she combines classic narrowboat character with generous space throughout, offering a wonderful canvas ready for you to make her your own. Her painted ply cabin sides and porthole windows throughout give her that timeless, authentic look that traditional-style boat lovers adore.
On board you’ll find ample room to relax and entertain, with a particularly spacious bow deck sheltered by a cratch cover — the perfect spot to sit and watch the world drift by. She also features a dedicated, well-proportioned engine room, adding to her practical appeal. Accommodation currently provides two berths with a fixed double bedroom, and there is genuine potential to add further berths within the saloon should you wish. The walkthrough bathroom includes a pump-out toilet, shower and vanity basin, together with a Hotpoint washing machine and ample storage offering comfort and convenience for daily living.
Power comes from a distinctive Kelvin K2 two-cylinder diesel engine — an original unit with heritage, having previously served in a lighthouse — paired with keel cooling and a 50-gallon fuel tank. She was last blacked with 2pac coating in 2022, and her Boat Safety Certificate remains valid until December 2029, giving you peace of mind right from the start. Heating is covered by an Eberspacher system alongside a Bubble Stove, ensuring a welcoming warmth whatever the weather.
Electrical provision is comprehensive and capable, featuring both 12v and 240v systems, a powerful Victron Multiplus 3kw inverter, a 10kva generator, and a suite of quality Victron and Sterling charging equipment — all designed to keep you powered up whether on the shoreline or cruising independently. The galley includes a Thetford cooker and fridge-freezer, adding real practicality to life afloat. With a 100-gallon stainless steel water tank and three side hatches bringing light and air below deck, Precious Time is a solid, well-equipped vessel waiting for her next chapter.
