Description
Sycamore is a lovely and well-cared-for 55ft (15.75m) cruiser stern narrowboat, built by Heron Boatshare in 1999. She has been lovingly looked after and is presented in very good condition for her age, offering a comfortable and practical interior that would make a wonderful leisure boat, extended cruiser or liveaboard.
One of Sycamore’s particularly appealing features is her reverse layout. Entering from the cruiser stern brings you directly into the spacious living area, with the accommodation flowing through the boat and the main sleeping cabin situated privately at the bow. It is a very practical and sociable arrangement.
The interior woodwork has been finished in a light, modern painted finish, giving the boat a bright and welcoming feel.
Accommodation
The main bedroom is situated at the front of the boat and offers very flexible sleeping arrangements. It can be configured as two single beds, or a pull-out bed base converts the space into a very generous double bed. Made-to-measure memory foam mattresses are included.
The dining area is equally versatile and can be converted to provide a second double bed, again with memory foam mattresses, making Sycamore ideal for accommodating family or guests.
Galley
The practical kitchen/galley is equipped with:
• Electric inverter fridge
• Gas cooker
• Good storage and preparation space
Bathroom
The bathroom includes:
• Cassette toilet
• Shower
• Handbasin
Heating & Comfort
Sycamore is well equipped for comfortable cruising throughout the seasons, with central heating, a wood-burning stove and a new Eberspächer diesel heater.
Electrical System
The main leisure batteries were replaced in 2023, and the boat has also benefited from a new solar controller and inverter, providing 240V power aboard.
Engine & Hull
Sycamore is powered by a dependable Lister LPW4 diesel engine.
The hull was blacked in September 2024, providing additional peace of mind for her next owner.
