The Great Escape, a 57ft Traditional Stern Narrowboat, built in 1997 by renowned builders Reeves, offers a charming and practical living space for both long cruising adventures and peaceful residential life on the water. From the stern, the layout flows smoothly, starting with the engine room and extending all the way to the spacious bow, providing a perfect balance of utility and comfort. Powered by a Beta Marina 30hp engine, this boat ensures reliable navigation, while recent maintenance such as the 2021 blacking and the Boat Safety Certificate valid until 2026 offer peace of mind for the new owner.
One of the standout features is the 2x800w solar panels, managed by a Victron MPPT controller, ensuring energy efficiency and off-grid living capabilities. As you step into the lounge, you're greeted by the warmth of a Villager multi-fuel stove, surrounded by wooden flooring that stretches throughout the boat, adding a cosy, homely feel. The lounge is complete with a two-seater sofa bed, perfect for relaxing or accommodating guests, and a thoughtfully designed corner unit equipped with a stereo for entertainment.
In the galley, functionality meets style with an L-shaped kitchen, featuring under-counter cupboards and eyeline cupboards for ample storage. The space is further enhanced by a granite-topped unit, giving a touch of elegance to the space. Cooking is a breeze with the Thetford oven and grill, a four-ring hob, and a 12v Shoreline fridge freezer that keeps your essentials fresh, making this kitchen perfect for preparing meals on the go.
The master bedroom offers a sanctuary with a small double bed featuring underbed storage and a large wardrobe equipped with two spacious drawers. It is designed for both comfort and practicality, making it a restful space after a day of cruising. Adjacent to the bedroom, the bathroom provides modern conveniences with a hip bath fitted with a handheld shower, a sink with a vanity unit, and a compost toilet. An eyeline cupboard with a mirror adds a thoughtful touch for everyday grooming needs.
Stepping out to the large bow, the outdoor space offers a serene area to enjoy the beauty of life on the water. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee or basking in the evening sun, this spacious bow becomes a perfect retreat in its own right.
