Description

May Bee is a 68ft Evans & Sons built Traditional stern narrowboat built in 1997. She has a BETA 65 water cooled engine, 1 starter & 3 leisure batteries. She also benefits from a hydraulic bow thruster which really makes turning and mooring easy in any conditions.
** NEW SURVEY AUG 2024 - EXCELLENT CONDITION & BLACKED SAME TIME **
Entering through the stern doors into the engine compartment there is a 12ft workshop that the previous owner machined wood and metal in. There is also a washing machine and central heating boiler.
Through into the bedroom cabin there is a double fold up bed, built in draws and tv.
The bathroom has a cassette toilet, bath / shower and sink unit.
The saloon & kitchen offers 30ft of living space and has a Thetford double oven & grill, fridge / freezer and sink / drainer. The oversized dinette can comfortably fit 4 people round it and can be converted into a double bed. At the bow end there is plenty of built in furniture and a multifuel burning stove. A side hatch offers additional natural light when open.
The well deck has storage lockers and a new canopy fitted in the last 12 months.
There are three storage boxes on the roof and there is a single solar panel to keep the batteries topped up.
May Bee would suit a new owner with a background in engineering or a love of wood turning and metal work as the workshop is ideal for this use.
May Bee is truly a remarkable chance for an individual or couple to obtain a boat with great scope to live aboard and possibly run a business on water with the 12ft workshop that could be retained for work or if preferred convert it into an additional double cabin.
She has been owned from new by the same gentleman and has been taken out of the water for blacking at 2yr intervals, the internal highly polished varnished wood cabinets and storage areas are all handmade and finished and to say that May Bee has been loved over the years is a real understatement.
Should really be viewed to appreciate the opportunity that this boat presents to a lucky new owner!
