Lady Alice is a beautifully maintained 55ft traditional stern narrowboat that offers the perfect combination of classic character and modern comfort. Built in 2004 by Severn Valley Boat Centre, she has been cared for with dedication and presents an excellent opportunity for anyone seeking an elegant and reliable vessel for exploring the UK’s inland waterways.
In 2023, Lady Alice benefitted from a number of professional upgrades that ensure she remains in top condition. Her exterior was carefully repainted, including the roof, stern, bow deck, bow flashes, tunnel bands, and gunwales, giving her a fresh and polished appearance. At the same time, the hull was treated with two coats of high-quality 2-pack epoxy, and four new anodes were fitted to provide additional protection and peace of mind.
Inside, several thoughtful updates have enhanced her comfort and style. These include new carpeting throughout, a new bathroom washbasin installed above a vanity unit, and a new solid fuel stove surround, adding both warmth and visual appeal.
In the bedroom, you’ll find a full-size double bed, a double wardrobe with a built-in safe, and further storage options to keep everything neatly stowed away.
The walk-through bathroom is fitted with a full-size shower, a Thetford cassette toilet, and a washbasin set over a vanity unit, complemented by additional storage for toiletries and essentials.
The galley features a four-burner hob, separate oven and grill, a 12V Amica fridge-freezer, a microwave, and a sink with a mixer tap. There is ample worktop space, along with a generous selection of cupboards and drawers.
The saloon offers two comfortable reclining captain’s chairs, a 32” television, a solid fuel stove, and plenty of additional storage.
With a Webasto diesel central heating system connected to radiators and a towel rail, the cabin remains warm and comfortable year-round. Hot water is supplied via the engine, calorifier, immersion heater, and the Webasto boiler, ensuring flexibility and convenience.
Mechanically, Lady Alice is in excellent condition. Her Barrus Shire 45hp engine and PRM gearbox received a full service in September 2024. She also benefits from a 3.5kW Travel Power generator, a 1.8kW Sterling inverter, a galvanic isolator, and a battery charger installed in September 2023.
Additional features include a full cratch cover and stern cover, both fitted in September 2022, and a side hatch in the galley for added ventilation and natural light. A recent out-of-water hull survey, completed in July 2023, is available to view and confirms her excellent structural condition.
With her attractive traditional design, carefully maintained condition, and high level of onboard comfort, Lady Alice represents a superb opportunity for anyone looking to embark on their own waterway adventures or embrace life afloat.
