Description

1989 Fox-built spacious traditional 45ft narrowboat ‘Genesis’ on private, offside mooring at Dundas Aqueduct, just outside Bath, Somerset. Blacked every 3 years since 2005. Gas cooker, Aarrow heating stove, calorifier hot water, solar panel system with NPPT controller, backed up by 1.8l BMC diesel engine, 600W inverter, USB charging ports, all-LED lighting, portaloo. Quality fit-out, hardwood, not a single wonky cupboard door after 33 years! Plenty of storage, two seating areas, cross double berth with fixed bulkhead separating the engine bay. Pipework, wiring, engine and calorifier have all been replaced, so no gremlins hiding behind the panelling! Lovely location, <2 miles Bath city centre but quiet wooded area. Services (water, elsan, pumpout) at Dundas Wharf just across the aqueduct. Hard canal edge, mowed regularly, rings for easy, secure tie-down. Lock-free cruising to Bradford on Avon. Beloved home of 17 years, for sale only because I’m moving to a smallholding.
