Louis and Joshua Boat Builders, a renowned company based in Doncaster, had a strong reputation for crafting award winning vessels using the distinctive and well proportioned Jonathan Wilson shells. This traditional narrowboat, designed with portholes and used for leisure, has been meticulously maintained and would be suitable for full time residency. Named Carpe Diem, she has a stunning appearance, thanks to a recent repaint by Colin Dundas. She also boasts several new appliances and systems, and is unexpectedly on the market due to ill health. Equipped with a newly installed 3kW Victron inverter/charger, providing 230V power, while a 100W solar panel trickle charges the batteries. The galley features a new gas oven with electric grill, a separate gas hob and a fridge. Side doors create a bright and airy atmosphere, further enhanced by the generous 6ft 7in headroom throughout the cabin. The Pullman dinette, which includes a second set of side doors with a fitted inner window, is perfect for enjoying the view even on less than ideal days. The heating system combines a corner Bubble solid fuel stove with an economical Webasto diesel boiler.
