Description

A Wonderful Opportunity
Linden Rose is a characterful 40ft cruiser stern narrowboat built by Heritage Narrowboats in 1992. She has been lovingly enjoyed as both a leisure boat and more recently as a liveaboard, making her a practical, comfortable and affordable way to enjoy Britain's inland waterways.
Powered by a dependable Volvo Penta 2000 Series 28hp diesel engine, she offers economical cruising, simple maintenance and a reputation for reliability.
The current owner has recently invested in the important maintenance items, leaving the new owner with a boat that is ready to enjoy from day one.

A note about the interior
The current interior décor reflects the boat's recent use as a liveaboard. During the last year the interior paintwork was refreshed by a family member, but the finish was not completed to a professional standard.
Mechanically and structurally, Linden Rose offers an excellent, well-equipped package. A new owner may simply wish to redecorate internally to suit their own taste, making this an ideal opportunity to personalise the boat while benefiting from the significant investment already made in the important areas such as the engine, solar installation, heating, galley and accommodation.
For many buyers, this represents an opportunity to acquire a well-equipped boat at a sensible price and add value through cosmetic improvements rather than major mechanical work.

Summary
Linden Rose is an honest, characterful narrowboat offering a rare combination of reliability, individuality and value. With her Volvo Penta engine, solar power, quality appliances, recent survey and long Boat Safety Certificate, she provides an excellent platform for either leisure cruising or full-time living aboard.
The interior decoration offers the perfect opportunity for the next owner to put their own stamp on an already well-equipped and charming boat, creating a home on the water that truly reflects their own style.
Viewing is highly recommended.
