Step aboard The Good Life and discover a narrowboat where timeless craftsmanship meets contemporary living. Built in 1985 by Colecraft—renowned for their exceptional quality—this 58ft cruiser stern narrowboat has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully upgraded by her current owners. With a professional repaint in 2020 and newly fitted double-glazed windows, she presents a striking exterior that not only looks fantastic but also provides excellent insulation for year-round cruising.
Inside, every detail has been carefully considered to enhance comfort and practicality. The boat has been fully rewired, complete with a Victron 1.6Kw inverter/charger, two large Victron solar panels with MPPT, and a repainted engine bay with new mounts, an alternator, and a starter motor. Freshly redecorated, The Good Life has a bright and inviting interior, making it a perfect home on the water.
From the moment you step inside, The Good Life feels warm and welcoming. The galley is a cook’s dream, featuring a full-sized freestanding four-burner cooker, a domestic 12V fridge, and a stainless-steel sink with mixer taps. With generous worktop space and ample storage, meal preparation is both practical and enjoyable.
The saloon is a cosy retreat, with an L-shaped sofa that effortlessly converts into an additional bed. A solid fuel stove keeps the space toasty on cooler evenings, while the TV and entertainment area provide the perfect spot to unwind. Double stable doors lead onto the well deck, offering an open and airy feel with stunning waterside views.
Further down the boat, a versatile second bedroom doubles as a comfortable lounge. The upholstered sofa bed provides extra sleeping space, while built-in storage cupboards ensure there’s plenty of room for belongings.
The main bedroom is a peaceful sanctuary, featuring a fixed double bed with under-bed storage, spacious wardrobes, and additional storage options—ideal for those considering long-term cruising or liveaboard life.
The bathroom is designed with both practicality and comfort in mind. A cassette toilet, wash basin over a stylish vanity unit, and a hip bath with shower over offer all the essentials, while additional storage ensures everything has its place.
With her combination of classic charm, modern upgrades, and a well-thought-out layout, The Good Life is ready to welcome her next owners. Whether you’re looking for a full-time floating home or a stylish weekend escape, this beautifully maintained cruiser stern narrowboat offers everything you need for a relaxed and enjoyable life on the water.
