DESCRIPTION --> Entering the boat from the cruiser stern deck there are steps down to a storage cupboard to port. This full height cupboard contains the electrics system and boiler that services three radiators, and the hot water tank. Forward there is the main bedroom with a fixed double bed that can be opened to the full width of the cabin. Under the bed, there is further storage space. A flat-screen digital TV is built into the wall at the foot of the bed which receives a signal through an external aerial. Continuing forward along a carpeted corridor the bathroom is found port side with a ceramic sink, cassette toilet system, heated towel rail and lots of useful cupboard storage. There is a shower in the bathroom with a large hard resin moulded shower tray. Forward of the bathroom, you enter the spacious saloon with free-standing furniture, comfortable sofa bed with underneath storage which easily turns into a double bed. Under the port side gunwale, cupboards offer further storage space. Previously we had a large desk set up in the saloon for home working, which made this the most beautiful place to work from during lockdown – Then the baby arrived! Easily reinstated should you wish. From the open saloon moving forward to the galley, with wooden worktops and tiled floor. To port, you find a stainless-steel sink and draining board, washer/dryer, fridge, and freezer. To starboard, there is a four-ring gas hob and electric oven plus three large cupboards. Through the bow door and out to the well deck which has recently been stripped back to metal and painted in summer 2020. Wooden benches to the front are the perfect place to sit and have breakfast and coffee in the mornings. - - - - - - - - - -
