£47,000.00
‘Sweet Feeby’ is a 1986 Trad style narrowboat which has been refitted to a good standard by the current owner to give it a spacious and modern lay-out. Beginning life at 45′ this boat was ‘stretched’ in 2004 by Orion Narrow Boats to allow for more living space. The boat has a comprehensive file of maintenance related paperwork which dates back to the original purchase of the vessel. This will make a fantastic home for somebody looking to move onto the water. Viewing are available 7 days a week by appointment only please.
