A well presented 58ft narrowboat built in 2007 by the Liverpool Boat Company.
A beautiful narrowboat, perfectly situated in central Oxford nestled between the Thames and the grounds and lake of Worcester college. Surrounded by water, nature and birdlife, you enjoy the most amazing dawn chorus whilst being a 5-minute walk from the rail and bus stations, along with quiet permit parking on Upper Fisher Row.
The rear door and sliding hatch open into an open plan fully fitted kitchen with 12v fridge freezer, gas hob, 240v oven. Beyond this there is a cosy living / dining area with a brand-new wood burning stove. The bathroom separates the living area and bedroom and has an inbuilt Elsan W.C, sink, small bath with taps and a shower attachment. The bedroom also includes fitted wardrobes and looks over the double doors to the idyllic front deck and canal beyond. The boat is lined in ply, showing excellent workmanship.
Loveday is moored on a transferable fully serviced canal mooring. The mooring includes free water supply, a connection to 240 power charged as used, free parking permits and the use of a washing machine adjacent on the towpath.
Loveday has a valid survey available for prospective buyers, thereby avoiding the need for an expensive haul out. All advisory points have been addressed, and the hull was blacked in 2022. The safety certificate is valid until 2027. The boat was bought from Enslow Marina. She has had only two owners since being built in 2007 by the renowned Liverpool Boat Company.
The fully labelled and inspected electrical system provides a home with every comfort: Central heating, hot water, 12v fridge freezer, gas hob, 240v oven. The recently serviced Isuzu 42 engine is in good working order.
Loveday offers a wonderful static home in the most sought after serviced mooring spot in central Oxford, ready to transport you in your every comfort around the canal and river system of the UK.<br /><br />
Situation
Tucked away within a short walk from the centre of Oxford, the Towpath is very convenient for those needing access into Oxford and Oxford mainline station. Also close by, is the Said Business School and one of Oxford's oldest pubs, The Perch.
There are a range of convenience stores including Sainsburys at the beginning of Rewley Road and a Waitrose supermarket on the Botley Road.
The property is within walking distance of the railway station with regular services directly to London Paddington, London Marylebone and Birmingham and convenient for the comprehensive amenities of the City Centre and the Westgate Shopping Centre.
From the coach station at Gloucester Green, there are frequent buses to London Victoria, Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports.
