A charming and well-loved 40ft trad stern, Manorbier is a fantastic compact narrowboat with over a decade of careful ownership. Built by the highly regarded R&D Boats in 1990, she offers a great balance of character, practicality, and comfort—ideal for both leisure cruising and full-time living.
Step aboard via the cratch-covered bow with sociable seating and useful storage, leading into a cosy saloon with fixed seating that easily converts into two additional berths for guests. Warm and inviting all year round thanks to central heating and a classic squirrel stove.
The well-designed U-shaped galley provides ample storage, a full-size cooker, and fridge, with the added bonus of a side hatch bringing in light and fresh air. Moving aft, the offset bathroom features a washbasin, vanity storage, and a hip bath with shower over.
At the stern, the comfortable bedroom offers a fixed double bed with storage beneath, plus wardrobe space.
A delightful, manageable boat with plenty to offer—Manorbier is ready for her next adventure.
