Description

Bulverton is a traditional stern narrowboat fabricated by Bridgewater Boatbuilders in 1996 before being meticulously fitted out by her current owners and first launched in 2001. Remarkably, she has remained in the same ownership ever since and has been exceptionally well cared for throughout.

Bulverton has benefited from continuous maintenance throughout including recent new batteries (2025), new cratch cover (2025), and a new cooker (2026). She has also been regularly blacked and professionally serviced, reflecting the owners' commitment to keeping her in excellent condition. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely much-loved narrowboat with an outstanding ownership history.
