2015 David Bridgeman Boat Builders 50' Narrowboat

Flitterwochen is a superb one-owner-from-new 50ft cruiser stern narrowboat, built in 2015 by David Bridgeman Boat Builders and fitted out by Lymm Marina. Cleverly designed with a unique enclosed bow, the interior benefits from an enhanced sense of space, giving the feel of a larger vessel than her 50ft length would suggest. Configured in the ever-popular reverse layout, the walkthrough galley is positioned aft and features granite work surfaces and a breakfast bar, creating a stylish and practical cooking area. This leads into a spacious saloon with a freestanding two-seater sofa, forming a welcoming and sociable living space. A walk-through bathroom follows, fitted with a modern Thetford cassette toilet with ceramic bowl. Forward, the master cabin offers a comfortable 4ft 6in double berth, completing a thoughtfully arranged and highly functional layout. Propulsion is provided by a Canaline 42hp four-cylinder diesel engine, paired with a PRM 150 gearbox, and showing just 135 engine hours. A bow thruster is also fitted, aiding manoeuvrability. Cabin heating is supplied via a diesel-fired Webasto central heating system, complemented by a Hobbit multifuel stove in the saloon. Hot water is delivered through the central heating system, engine calorifier, and a 240V immersion heater. Both 12V and 240V electrical systems are installed onboard for modern convenience. Available to view seven days a week at Pyrford Marina.
