Killowen – 59’4″ Semi Trad 2002 Stenson Boatbuilders/Stephen Goldsbrough

Killowen is a 59’ 4” semi trad narrowboat built in 2002 by Stenson Boatbuilders. She was fitted out by Stephen Goldsbrough, in oak faced ply with sapele trim, oak T& G ceiling and solid oak flooring throughout.
She had a full survey in 2017, followed by blacking and 6 new anodes in 2020, and most recently the roof and stern decks have been repainted as well (2022).
The 4’ well deck features lockers either side, and views out from the glazed cratch board. Steps lead down, past stable doors in to the saloon.
Large at 12’6” the saloon features 2 wooden armchairs, a 24” Tv/dvd with sound bar, a Morso solid fuel stove, and a series of cupboards and shelves for storage.
The 7’8” galley is next, with a stainless steel sink with water filter tap, 12v Shoreline fridge, Daewoo microwave, Vanette 4 burner gas hob, Vanette oven & grill, and a Hoover washing machine. This room is packed full of storage, with plenty of low and high level cupboards.
A midship cabin (8’0”) features the 2 single berths (both 6’0” x 2’0”) and a demountable table, forming a dinette area when needed. This can also be reconfigured to form a spare double. The houdini hatch over brings in plenty of light and fresh air too.
The bathroom follows, compact at 5’6”, and houses an acrylic counter sunk sink, a Tecma macerator pumpout loo, square shower with tiled surround, and a couple of cupboards.
The bedroom is 9’10” long and has a 6’1”x4’1” fixed double berth, which has the option of being extended if needed. Either side of the aft steps sit a full height wardrobe (port) and smaller cupboard and shelf (starboard).
At 4’6” in length the semi trad deck is of a reasonable size, covered by a pram hood (new 2018), with the Nanni 4.195 diesel engine housed below. Navigation is also aided by the Sidepower bowthruster.
She is centrally heated by an Alde gas boiler, connected to 4 radiators, with heat retention improved by secondary glazing to the windows.
12v is from the bank of 3 domestic batteries, and 230v is from the 3.5kW travel power generator, 1.6kW inverter/charger or landline. The lighting onboard is a mix of halogen and fluorescent strips.
She is a charming boat, in excellent condition, and will make somebody a lovely home.
