Description

Presented in fantastic condition and with just 231 engine hours on the clock, Monty is a bespoke narrowboat built by JD Boat Services (Gailey), in a versatile and sought after, go-anywhere length.

Built in the popular REVERSE style layout, at the fore of the vessel, a cleverly designed area incorporates comfortable bench seating, a hinged table for dining at, and by night, this area converts to a bedroom by folding down the double bed, which stows away when not in use into its own cupboard. For ease of use, the bed can be left made up when stowed.

The off-corridor shower room features a cubicle shower, washbasin on vanity unit and a cassette toilet.

Creature comforts are well covered with gas cooking, and the galley is also equipped with a useful tall fridge/freezer that can run via the onboard 3kW inverter when cruising.

At the stern, the saloon has space for free-standing chairs and furniture.

Heating is supplied by both a diesel stove and programmable compact diesel boiler, ensuring warmth and comfort at any time of the year.
