Hester

Built by Shropshire Cruisers this 26′ steel bottomed and ply topped narrowboat would make a lovely little nook for anyone looking to get out on the water. She has recently been painted throughout from floor to ceiling along with a full external paint from her roof to the gunwales. Powered by a very reliable Lister SR1 she is then a blank canvas for a loving new owner to put their own stamp on her. 26ft of space to escape!
