Juniper, a 56ft three-berth Narrowboat built in 1996 by Colecraft Engineering Ltd. Designed with a practical forward layout, this well-proportioned vessel offers comfortable accommodation ideal for family cruising, extended holidays afloat, or as a liveaboard. Entering from the stern, the accommodation comprises a guest cabin with a single berth, a bathroom featuring a bath and pump-out toilet, a master cabin with a fixed double berth, a well-equipped U-shaped galley, and a bright saloon forward with direct access onto the bow well deck. Propulsion is provided by a Beta Marine 43hp four-cylinder diesel engine, coupled to a PRM 260D2 gearbox. Cabin heating is supplied via a Webasto diesel-fired central heating system feeding radiators throughout the boat, while hot water is provided by an engine calorifier and the central heating system. Both 12V and 240V electrical systems are installed, offering the conveniences expected for comfortable cruising. Previously operated as a hire boat, Juniper benefits from a versatile and thoughtfully arranged interior that provides generous living space. At 56ft, she is widely regarded as being at the “go anywhere” length, offering access to the vast majority of the UK’s inland waterways. Juniper is available to view at Pyrford Marina.
