Ossie is a charming 50ft traditional stern narrowboat built in 2000 by Bridgewater Boats. Designed in the popular traditional stern style, she offers a practical and comfortable interior layout, making her suitable for both leisure cruising and extended stays aboard. The boat is arranged from stern to bow as bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and saloon, providing a logical flow and making excellent use of the available space. With hardwood flooring throughout, lined curtains and blinds, and LED lighting, Ossie presents as a warm and inviting boat with a homely feel.
The master bedroom is located at the stern and features a full-width cross double bed, offering a comfortable sleeping area while maximising floor space during the day. Storage has been thoughtfully incorporated with drawers beneath the bed, cupboards above, and two wardrobes providing ample space for clothing and personal belongings. LED lighting ensures the room is bright and practical while maintaining a cosy atmosphere.
Moving forward, the bathroom is well-appointed and designed for convenience. It includes a vanity basin with sink, overhead storage cupboard, a separate shower cubicle, and a cassette toilet. The addition of a Whale Gulper pump, fitted in December 2017, provides efficient shower drainage and reliability, making the bathroom suitable for both weekend and longer-term use.
The galley is both practical and well-equipped, featuring a Vanette four-burner hob with oven and grill, a 12v fridge, and a stainless steel sink with drainer. Storage is plentiful, with cupboards, drawers, and a dedicated cupboard for glasses. A side hatch with steps offers additional light and ventilation while also providing convenient access on and off the boat, particularly useful when moored.
At the bow, the saloon provides a comfortable and flexible living space. A large sofa with a memory foam mattress converts into a king-size bed, making it ideal for accommodating guests. The space also includes a folding table with chairs for dining or working, a corner unit with shelving and cupboard storage, and a multi-fuel stove for warmth during colder months. LED lighting throughout enhances the bright and welcoming feel of the space.
Ossie is further equipped with a 545-litre water tank and a 200-litre fuel tank, supporting extended cruising. Combined with her traditional styling, practical layout, and comfortable features, Ossie offers an appealing opportunity for those seeking a well-presented narrowboat ready for enjoyable time on the water.
