Description
The Jammy Dodger is a striking 70ft traditional stern narrowboat, built in 2011 by Steve Heywood and thoughtfully fitted out by JKL Boats. Exceptionally well-presented and maintained, she combines generous accommodation with a beautifully crafted interior, making her a superb choice for extended cruising or full-time living.
Inside, her layout has been carefully designed to provide both comfort and practicality. With three cabins, she offers a double bed in the rear cabin, two fixed single berths, and additional sleeping space in the saloon with a sofa bed. This versatile arrangement allows her to comfortably host family or guests aboard.
The interior finish showcases solid oak flooring, tongue and groove cabin sides, and spray foam insulation for year-round comfort. The galley is well-equipped with a Statesman cooker and Prity stove with backboiler, Shoreline fridge, and solid wood worktops, creating a warm and homely space for preparing meals. The walkthrough bathroom includes a shower, vanity basin, and cassette toilet with fittings in place for a pump-out option.
Heating and hot water are provided by a combination of Webasto systems, two stoves (Salamander Hobbit and Prity with backboiler), and a calorifier/immersion setup, ensuring flexibility and warmth no matter the season. On the electrical side, she offers 12v and 240v systems, a Victron Phoenix 1200 inverter, Victron Centaur battery charger, galvanic isolator, and the support of two solar panels feeding one starter and four leisure batteries.
Powered by a dependable Beta 50hp engine with PRM 150 gearbox, The Jammy Dodger delivers reliable cruising performance. Her steel 10/6/4 hull was last blacked in 2022, and the engine serviced in August 2023. Additional features include a cratch cover, four side hatches, and four Houdini hatches, all contributing to light, ventilation, and practical use of space.
With a Boat Safety Certificate valid until September 2028, The Jammy Dodger is ready to welcome her next owner. A boat of her calibre offers a rare opportunity to step aboard a vessel that balances character, comfort, and craftsmanship in equal measure.
