Broker's Comments

We are pleased to list this fabulous classic Dunston barge from 1936. Once plying her trade up and down the Humber and Trent, she was finally decommissioned in 1979 and converted to a live-aboard.

She was then further converted to what you see today around 11 years ago.

She has very roomy living accommodation for 2+2 (the saloon converts to a double). Large, well-equipped galley, good-sized double bedroom and a fantastic full bath/shower room, with both a sea toilet and a composting unit.

Power is from not one, but three good classic engines; a Lister and two Glenifer auxiliaries for manoeuvring.

She would be a superb live-aboard (as she once was), and the mooring could be available (by separate negotiation with the landowner).

She does need a little work, due to not having had the tlc lately that her (sadly deceased) Owner once gave her - and is priced accordingly.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
