Florence is a beautifully presented 58ft cruiser stern narrowboat built by renowned Colecraft and fitted out by Black Prince. Two well established and highly respected names within the inland waterways sector.

Originally built as a hire boat, she has been exceptionally well maintained and has recently benefited from a full repaint and presents exceptionally well, both inside and out.

Entering via the bow through PVC double glazed bow doors into a spacious saloon featuring an L-shaped dinette converting to two additional berths. The practical galley has a freestanding cooker, 12V fridge and good storage.

Accommodation comprises two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The aft bedroom has two single beds which can be converted to a double. Both bedrooms have full-size wardrobes. The main bathroom includes a shower, washbasin and vanity, with both toilets being pump-out.

A fantastic family boat with generous accommodation, equally suited to leisure cruising or liveaboard use. Florence is very well presented and ready for her next owner to enjoy.
