    Description

    Welcome aboard Tadpole, a captivating 30-foot cruiser stern narrowboat exuding timeless charm and character. Crafted around 1980/1985 by Fenny Compton and Peter Else, Tadpole's unique design features a distinctive Canadian Canoe bow, setting her apart as a vessel of both style and substance.

    Step onto the well-deck and enter a world of nautical enchantment. The interior, thoughtfully laid out from stern to bow, invites exploration and relaxation alike. Begin your journey in the inviting cruiser stern, where hardwood seats and a protective pram cover offer a cosy retreat. A steel door leads you into the heart of the vessel, promising adventures waiting to unfold.

    As you venture inside, discover a compact yet comfortable living space designed for intimate gatherings and peaceful retreats. Awaiting your attention is a bathroom with plumbing installed, featuring a brand-new Porta Potti cassette toilet, ready to be finalized to your specifications.

    Continue forward to find the snug bedroom, complete with built-in bunk beds, perfect for young adventurers or cosy nights under the stars. Ample storage solutions ensure belongings are neatly tucked away, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the tranquil ambiance of life on the water.

    In the dinette area, a "Pullman Style" setup beckons, offering a versatile space that effortlessly converts into a full-size double bed. Rich hardwood accents and ample storage cupboards enhance the cosy atmosphere, inviting you to linger over meals or curl up with a good book.

    The galley is a culinary haven, boasting a free-standing full-size cooker with a separate oven and grill, ideal for preparing delicious meals on the go. A Morco instant hot water boiler ensures your comfort, providing hot water on demand for washing up or brewing a comforting cup of tea. With a stainless steel sink and drainer, ample worktop space, and a selection of storage options, the galley is as practical as it is charming.

    Throughout Tadpole, thoughtful details abound, from her 6-foot internal cabin height to the insulation that ensures year-round comfort. Recent upgrades, including a professional repaint and brand-new covers, add to her allure, promising years of memorable adventures on the waterways.

    Though Tadpole awaits some finishing touches, her potential shines brightly, inviting you to make her your own. Whether embarking on leisurely day trips or planning short breaks, Tadpole is a cherished companion, ready to accompany you on your next aquatic adventure.
