Howell, my much loved 42ft narrowboat, has been the perfect home for the past 4 years but the time has come to pass her on. Set up for continuous cruising she’s been the perfect size for a solo handler throughout London and beyond. The bow extension means theres loads space inside with the cosy bed tucked away at the front. The large stern is plenty big enough for plants, coal and a bicycle with enough room to still comfortably cruise. The Morso squirrel stove is so good and the insulation and double glazing mean I’ve never had a cold night on board.
I feel so lucky to have found this boat and I’m excited for the next person to find this ad and be as buzzing as I was! I’ll list the highlights below but feel free to message with any questions or to organise viewings.
