Full of personality and warmth, this boat offers an inviting interior with a well-thought-out layout and all the essentials for life on the water.

The galley is cleverly designed to make the most of the available space, offering everything you need to cook up a hearty meal after a day of cruising. It features a Thetford gas oven and hob for reliable cooking, alongside a Shoreline 12v fridge to keep your groceries fresh.

A filtered water system ensures clean, fresh drinking water straight from the tap. With its compact layout and practical features, this kitchen is ideal for both weekend trips and extended living.

The lounge area is a cosy and welcoming retreat, perfect for relaxing by the fire or enjoying a quiet evening in. A robust Arrow multi-fuel stove provides warmth and atmosphere, complemented by two radiators that ensure comfort year-round. Two comfy lounge chairs offer the perfect spot to unwind, while a freestanding drop-leaf table allows for flexible dining or workspace use. Ample fitted cupboards provide generous storage without compromising on style, and the ceiling and wall lights create a soft, homely glow that enhances the boat’s inviting charm.

There is no fixed dinette, but the freestanding table and lounge arrangement offer versatility. Whether you're enjoying breakfast with a view or working on a creative project, this adaptable space meets your needs with ease.

At the stern of the boat, the rear cabin is designed with storage in mind. Removable steps reveal spacious cupboards beneath – ideal for tools, maintenance gear, or cruising essentials. This practical area helps keep the rest of the boat clutter-free while still being easy to access.

Freshly decorated and thoughtfully laid out, the master bedroom is a peaceful sanctuary designed for restful nights. It features a comfortable cross bed, perfect for stretching out after a day on the water. Storage is abundant, with two full-height wardrobes for clothes and personal items, along with overhead cupboards for additional convenience. Removable steps lead up to the cratch area, allowing for easy access to the bow and additional natural light.

The walk-through bathroom is both bright and functional, offering a space-efficient design with all the essentials. A cassette toilet – complete with a spare cassette – provides practicality, while the corner shower cubicle allows for a proper rinse at the end of the day. The basin with vanity unit offers both style and storage, making the most of the available space without feeling cramped.

Here There Be Dragons is more than just a boat – it’s a floating retreat, a cosy home, and a trusted companion for new adventures. Whether you're mooring up in a marina or cruising the canals, this narrowboat is ready to welcome you aboard.
