    Description

    Introducing Elsa Claire II, a charming 38ft Cruiser Stern Narrowboat. Built in 1979/80 and fitted out by Mr. Wilkinson, this boat is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to live aboard in style or enjoy leisurely cruises on the water.

    Elsa Claire II boasts a well-thought-out layout, starting from the stern with a cosy saloon, followed by a fully equipped galley, a practical shower room, and a comfortable bedroom at the bow. With berths for up to 4 people, this narrowboat is perfect for a small family or couple.

    The galley is fitted with a Nelson Tecma Gas Cooker, a small 240V fridge freezer, and ample storage, making meal preparation a breeze.

    The relaxing saloon offers comfortable seating, a log burner to keep you warm on those cooler nights, a TV for your entertainment, and additional storage to keep your space clutter-free. The bathroom includes a hand basin, shower, and a cassette toilet, ensuring all your basic needs are met.

    The master bedroom features a large double bed under the bow, along with two singles, providing versatile sleeping arrangements for up to 4 people.

    While Elsa Claire II is in good overall condition, there are a few minor issues to note. The sliding steel roof is currently not operational and has a slight leak. Additionally, the boat has an option for internal steering via the captain’s wheel, though it is not yet linked to the stern tiller.

    Located in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside at Caen Hill Marina, Elsa Claire II offers a unique opportunity to own a characterful and comfortable liveaboard or holiday retreat. With a little bit of updating, this boat could be transformed into the perfect floating oasis. Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—Elsa Claire II is ready for immediate occupation.
