The Andrew is a charming 60ft cruiser stern narrowboat, ideally moored at the picturesque Shakespeare Marina, just a gentle 10-minute walk from the historic heart of Stratford-upon-Avon. Built in 1991 with a Colecraft hull and fitted out by Straight and Narrow, this bright and well-maintained vessel offers a classic, practical layout combined with a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. With generous outdoor spaces including a large cruiser stern and a well-proportioned well deck, both complete with tables, The Andrew is perfectly suited for relaxed outdoor dining and entertaining.
Inside, the boat features a well-designed centre passage galley that is both modern and highly functional. The starboard side is fitted with a gas oven, sink and ample cupboards with slide-out racks and deep drawers, while the port side boasts a four-burner gas hob, additional storage, a 3kg washing machine and a near-new 240v fridge. A tiled floor completes this practical and attractive cooking space, making it ideal for both everyday living and longer cruising adventures.
The open-plan saloon flows seamlessly from the galley and provides a cosy retreat, finished with carpeting on the floor and extending one metre up the walls for added warmth. A full-size futon offers flexible sleeping or lounging options, complemented by a coal stove with under-stair storage, TV, digital radio, bookcase and a 4/5G internet router. This inviting space is perfect for relaxing evenings on board, whatever the season.
Sleeping accommodation is thoughtfully arranged to suit a variety of needs. The rear single cabin, accessed just three steps down from the cruiser stern, includes a comfortable single bed, bedside table, dressing table, hanging wardrobe and substantial under-bed storage. The master bedroom, located off the passageway, features a double bed with two large drawers beneath, two spacious hanging wardrobes, a large dresser with four drawers and a wall-mounted TV, offering excellent storage and comfort for extended stays aboard.
The bathroom is also accessed from the passageway and is fitted with a large modular shower with sliding door, a new showerhead and mixer, a modern hand basin with cupboard storage beneath, and a pump-out toilet. Practical yet stylish, it provides everything needed for comfortable life afloat.
Offered fully equipped, The Andrew comes with all onboard contents included, from extensive boating hardware and a comprehensive toolkit to spare parts, crockery, cutlery, bedding, towels, cleaning equipment and appliances including a vacuum cleaner. With five berths, one bathroom and a proven, well-regarded build, this is a wonderful opportunity to own a ready-to-enjoy narrowboat in a truly sought-after marina location. Viewings are highly recommended.
