Description

Rowington is a well-presented 58ft semi-traditional narrowboat offering comfortable accommodation for cruising, holidays or liveaboard use. A full repaint by Andy Russell in 2021 gives the cream-and-deep-green exterior a smart, traditional appearance, while the practical interior reverse layout combines generous living space with extensive fitted storage.
From the stern entrance, the timber-lined interior creates a bright and cosy atmosphere throughout. Large windows provide excellent natural light, enhancing the sense of space and offering attractive views of the waterways.
The Galley is thoughtfully arranged and well equipped, featuring generous worktop space, a four-burner hob, oven and grill, microwave, refrigerator, stainless steel sink, and ample storage cupboards. The practical layout makes meal preparation easy whether cruising or moored. A solid fuel stove creates a focal point within this living area, delivering warmth and ambience during cooler months.
The dinette offers banquette seating for three to four people, with stools available for additional guests. The seating converts into a double bed when required. A television is positioned beside the side hatch, which provides views at water level.
Rowington has a well-fitted bathroom. Finished with tiled surfaces and quality fittings, it includes a full-size corner bath with shower overhead, wash basin, and pump-out toilet.
The master bedroom has a fixed double berth that extends to King-size, plentiful storage, and attractive timber cabinetry. Corridor doors provide privacy and convenience for extended stays aboard. This area also houses the boat’s central heating boiler, with radiators situated in all the living areas.
The forward saloon has two facing settees, creating a comfortable space in which to relax, entertain guests or enjoy canal-side views. The settees can also be used as single berths or converted into a larger sleeping area. An en-suite pump-out toilet with hand basin is particularly convenient when the saloon is used as overnight accommodation.
The stern and bow decks provide seating for crew members while cruising and comfortable outdoor space when moored. The front well deck has a fitted cratch and cover, with sides that can be raised when the weather permits.
Throughout the vessel, the extensive use of hardwood joinery, fitted cabinetry, and traditional styling reflects a high standard of craftsmanship and care. The interior feels both practical and welcoming, making the boat equally suitable for leisure cruising, extended holidays, or residential use.
