Introducing the Milton Queen, a stunning 62ft Cruiser Stern narrowboat built in 1980, offering a perfect blend of historical charm and modern functionality. This unique vessel is not just a boat; it's a floating piece of history and a luxurious home on the water. Here’s why the Milton Queen is the ideal choice for your next adventure.
The Milton Queen is the largest of three narrowboats originally built to transport pottery for the renowned Johnson Brothers Potteries. Completed in 1980, she was designed to carry up to 20 tonnes of pottery, embodying a rich industrial heritage. Crafted from high-quality British steel and featuring a robust 6mm thick hull, the Milton Queen’s construction is a testament to superior craftsmanship and durability.
Step inside to discover a beautifully designed open-plan lounge with built-in storage, creating a warm and inviting space to relax and entertain. The dinette area, with its banquette-style seating, doubles as a comfortable sleeping area, offering versatility and additional storage underneath. The compact yet efficient bathroom includes a small hip bath with a shower, a cassette toilet, and practical storage solutions.
Retreat to the master bedroom, where a double bed with large under-bed storage, fitted cupboards, a drawer unit, shelves, and a wardrobe provide ample space for all your belongings. This well-appointed bedroom ensures you have a cosy and organized living area, perfect for restful nights on the water.
One of the standout features of the Milton Queen is her original hydraulic system, allowing for easy forward and backward movement. This system enhances safety by eliminating the risk of sinking due to a prop shaft hole and provides additional internal head height. While the hydraulic system limits speed, the canal speed limit of 4 mph means you can enjoy leisurely cruises without any compromise.
Having been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully fitted out for liveaboard comfort, the Milton Queen is ready to embark on new adventures with her next owner. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence or a luxurious holiday home, this narrowboat offers a unique lifestyle with the charm of a bygone era and the convenience of modern living.
