Description

Step aboard Bramber, a beautifully kept 56ft cruiser stern narrowboat, built by Liverpool Boats in 2005 and powered by a reliable 35hp Isuzu engine. Lovingly maintained by her current owners, she is now ready to embark on her next chapter with you at the helm, exploring the waterways in comfort and style.

Her well-balanced layout begins with a sociable cruiser stern, offering ample space for relaxed cruising. Inside, the cabin sides are finished in oak tongue and groove with a mix of carpet and laminate flooring underfoot, creating a warm and inviting interior. Spray foam insulation and top-opening windows ensure year-round comfort, while thoughtful touches make her a practical and homely choice for extended cruising.

The galley is equipped for life on the water, with a cooker, 12v Shoreline fridge, and attractive Minerelle worktops, providing the perfect space to prepare meals. Sleeping arrangements are flexible, with a fixed double bed complemented by dinette and L-shaped seating that convert into additional berths – ideal for welcoming family or friends aboard.

The bathroom features a cassette toilet, shower, and vanity basin, all neatly arranged for ease of use. Hot water is provided via calorifier or Eberspacher, which also serves the central heating, ensuring cosy nights even on crisp winter cruises.

Mechanically, Bramber benefits from a PRM 120 gearbox, a 40-gallon diesel tank, and a stainless steel 120-gallon water tank. Her electrical systems include both 12v and 240v power, supported by a Sterling plug-in battery charger, one starter battery, and two leisure batteries. She was last blacked in 2020 with bitumen and serviced in December 2024.

With a valid Boat Safety Certificate until March 2029 and her Declaration of Conformity in place, Bramber is ready to cruise away. She offers a wonderful blend of traditional build quality, practical features, and homely charm – the perfect companion for adventures on Britain’s canals.

Who fitted the boat out and what type of materials were used (Hard wood or MDF etc) What equipment does the boat have (Bow thruster, generator, inverters etc) These are just a few of the many factors that equate to the correct value of a boat.

BUYERS & SELLERS

When you buy a boat from us you pay all monies in to our company clients trust account which means that the buyers and sellers money is protected. This is the same account that solicitors set up for house sales .This money does not belong to the company it belongs to the buyer until the sale is complete and then we pay the seller from the company clients trust account. We cannot release the money from the Clients Trust Account to the seller until the vessel has been accepted and handed over to the buyer because if there was a fault with the vessel and the buyer refused to accept it and wanted their money back we could not do this because the seller would of already had the money. This could become a very costly and messy problem for all parties.

This money never enters our company current account. This also means that we cannot use customers money for other purchases/reasons. If at any point the company went bust then the buyers/sellers money is safe and it would go back to the rightful owner of the money.

We have had this company clients trust account set up from day one to protect our customers money. This account is a secure holding account. We pay the seller monies due from this account when the buyer has signed to accept the vessel. Payment is made from this account to the seller by cheque from the clients Trust Account which is protected guaranteed funds.
