About this boat

Alice Rose – 52ft Traditional Narrowboat Alice Rose is a wonderful 52ft traditional stern narrowboat, built by Colecraft. Constructed with 8/6/4 steel plating and a flat bottom hull, she benefits from Kingspan insulation and ash ply cabin sides, creating a comfortable and durable living space. The hull has been maintained to a high standard, having been blacked in May 2025, and the baseplate has previously been over-plated with 6mm steel for extra peace of mind. Power comes from a reliable Barrus Shire 40hp four-cylinder diesel engine, serviced in September 2025, paired with a PRM 150 gearbox and keel cooling. Fuel is carried in a 150-litre tank, while water storage is generous at approximately 500 litres. The electrical system includes one starter and three leisure batteries, supported by 400w of solar panels with a Victron MPPT controller. Heating and hot water are provided by a solid fuel stove and a Cointra gas boiler, ensuring warmth throughout the seasons. Inside, Alice Rose offers plenty of room and practical layout. The galley features oak worktops, a Thetford Midi Prima cooker, and a Shoreline 12v fridge/freezer. Accommodation provides sleeping space for up to three people, with a fixed double bed plus a single bunk or sofa bed. The bathroom includes a cassette toilet, vanity basin, and a hip bath with a shower over. Her Boat Safety Certificate is valid until 2029, and she comes complete with a cratch cover and side hatch for added convenience.
