Description 
 
A spacious, reverse layout, open-plan narrow boat with copious amounts of useful storage. Occupied by the current owners as their home for 10 years, ‘Puzzle’ has a unique appeal of it’s own, combining traditional narrow boat, cottage and modern styles in a complimentary way to create a homely interior that is full of warmth. The current owners have loved living aboard Puzzle for the past 10 years, and are sad to be parting with her, but with a growing family more space is needed. Available for viewing 7 days a week, please contact us to make an appointment.
