For cooking, the galley is equipped with a Thetford gas oven and a four-ring gas hob, giving you all the tools needed to whip up delicious meals while on the go. The built-in fridge ensures your food stays fresh, so you’re always well-stocked for your adventures.
Lounge: The cosy and cleverly designed lounge area is the perfect spot to relax after a day of cruising. It features two long seats that easily convert into a large bed, providing a comfortable sleeping area for the night. The lounge’s multi-fuel stove creates a warm, inviting atmosphere, making it a great place to unwind during cooler evenings. Ample storage space under the seats ensures you have room to store your belongings without cluttering the living space. Additionally, the lounge is equipped with a multimedia area that includes drawers, a TV aerial, and a radio, offering entertainment options for when you’re docked or cruising. The thoughtfully stowed table can be easily set up, transforming the space into a dining or games area where you can enjoy meals or social activities with views out over the well deck.
Bathroom: Bluebell’s wet room-style bathroom offers a functional and comfortable design. It includes a Thetford cassette toilet with a spare cassette for added convenience during longer trips, ensuring minimal interruptions. The washbasin with mixer taps provides a practical space for washing up, and the shower comes with a raiser rail, adding flexibility and ease of use.
With its well-thought-out layout and high-quality fittings, Bluebell offers a delightful and compact living space that is perfect for long or short trips on the waterways.
