£40,000.00
‘La Rose’ is a 60ft semi-traditional narrowboat, built by Amber Boats in 2005, which offers comfortable accommodation for up to four people across two separate sleeping cabins. With a practical layout, it provides an excellent opportunity for leisure cruising, extended holidays, or life afloat. While the boat would benefit from some cosmetic TLC, it has plenty of potential for a new owner to personalise and refresh to their own taste. Combining a sought-after semi-trad stern with spacious living accommodation, this is a great value narrowboat with the foundations to become a fantastic home or cruising vessel.
