Reality is a charming 55’ six berth semi trad narrowboat built in 2003 by Stowe Hill Marine, on a G& J Reeves shell. She is beautifully fitted out in ash faced ply with ash trim, and all the fixtures and fittings are custom built.
She benefits from a full survey carried out in October 2022, with any remedial works carried out, and the engine was serviced in February 2024.
The cratch covered well deck is 4’0” with plenty of space for external seating, or storage. The cratch has been serviced, with zips replaced, in September 2023.
Steps lead down into the 16’6” saloon and dinette. The saloon has a large L shaped sofa which has storage under and converts into a spare double berth. There is a 28” TV with DVD player and plenty of shelves along with a couple of cupboards.
The pullman style dinette follows, which also has storage under and turns into a further double berth. A side hatch opposite adds light and air.
The galley is 7’4” long and utilities comprise of a Vanette four burner gas hob, oven & grill, a microwave oven, a 12v Shoreline fridge, a separate Hisense freezer, a sink and plenty of storage. There is power and plumbing for a washing machine where the freezer is - a previous owner took the washing machine out to make more space.
The walk through bathroom (5’6) is next. There is a macerator pump out loo, a ceramic basin, a tiled shower cubicle with glass door and some linen shelves. There is also an extractor fan in the ceiling.
The aft cabin is the bedroom. There is a fixed 6’3” x 4’0” double berth with reading lights and a cupboard over the head end, and a wardrobe with shelves at the foot of the bed.
Steps lead out onto the semi-trad stern deck, with new pram hood over. The Beta engine is housed below.
She is centrally heated by an Eberspacher diesel fired system connected to finrads throughout the boat. Hot water is via the engine, Webasto and immersion.
12v power is from the bank of four 110ah domestic batteries, with a separate starter. 240v power is supplied by the 2.5kw Victron inverter/charger, the 3.5kw Travel Power generator, or the landline.
All the lights are LED.
She is in very good condition and ready to go.
