Description

An incredible opportunity to own "Kingfisher," a beautiful 40-foot Dutch Barge live-aboard, named after the iconic mascot of the River Lea and Stort. She is completely ready to move into, while still offering the perfect canvas for your own creative finishing touches.

The spacious back deck is perfect for a floating garden with the opportunity to extend the canopy to create a fully covered, year-round outdoor living space.

We bought Kingfisher four years ago as a passion project to learn the craft of canal life. Whilst rebuilding we have had beautiful times meandering up and down the Lea and Stort, but it is now time for us to hand her over to someone new.

INTERNAL DIMENSIONS:
Main Cabin: H 178cm, W 223cm, L 640cm
Wheelhouse: L 362cm

REFURB:
Between 2022 and now, the boat was fully stripped down to the shell and refurbished with a new extension shower cabin. It has been fully insulated, clad, fitted with brand-new 28mm solid wood flooring, and features a reconditioned, collapsible wheelhouse that drops down easily for low canal bridges.

The walls and ceiling are freshly painted white, leaving the adjoining cladding unstained so you can add your own creative finishing touch. The boat is well set up for self-sufficient, off-grid continuous cruising.

EQUIPPED WITH:
6 x 110 AMP leisure batts, 2 x 350W solar panels, MPPT solar controller, and 1000w Inverter all connected.

Bilge pump, working hot shower, 4 burners cooking hobs, boiler sink and hard wood worktop, water heater, 13L gas bottle, mint condition Hardy 5 Multifuel Stove, New 200L Water tanks, and new automatic pump. Double/3-seat Sofa bed, Desk, and office chair. Sound Indenor engine and Paragon Gearbox.

Part exchange with a Campervan, Motorhome, or bigger boat considered.

Thank you for your interest!
