Speakeasy – 55′ Trad Liverpool Boats 2002
Speakeasy is a very nicely presented and well looked after 55’ Trad narrowboat built in Oct 2002 by Liverpool Boats.
Liverpools do not normally disappoint and Speakeasy is no exception. She nicely fitted out, offers all the space and comfort for living aboard and is equipped accordingly.
The cratch covered well deck leads into the saloon. This cosy and spacious room houses a two seater reclining sofa, shelving and cupboards, a TV / DVD combo and a stereo. A Puffin multifuel stove is at the dinette end of the saloon.
The Pullman style dinette follows and offers very comfortable and social seating for four (or five, with one at the head), and has storage both under the seats and under the floor. A radiator sits opposite.
The walk through galley houses the usual utilities, a four burner gas hob, oven & grill, a 12v fridge (with Icebox), a stainless steel sink and a washing machine. There is plenty of storage in here.
Leaving the galley aft, there is a floor to ceiling larder cupboard, or pantry; really useful space. You then enter, opposite a side hatch, the bathroom. This has a good sized tiled shower cubicle (2’6” x 2’), a heated towel rail, a macerator pump out loo (with new holding tank) and a counter sunk basin over a vanity unit.
The bedroom is next. The bed is a cross bed offering 4’6” width with cupboards over, and aft of the bed are two large wardrobes and an airing cupboard. Lots of storage.
Steps lead to the stern cabin. The Beta 38 is housed under the deck boards, the electrical equipment is in here, and there is plenty of room for storing navigation accessories.
Central heating on board is from the diesel fired Eberspacher (new in Feb 2018), Lighting is all LED, 230v is from the 2.5kw inverter or landline, she has 495w of solar power, and hot water is sourced from either the engine, Eberspacher or immersion (on landline).
She had a full survey conducted in Feb 2018, and the report is available for viewing.
She is a really charming boat. Ready to go, she has been a wonderful cosy home to her current owners for the last 18 months and will offer the next lucky owners the same.
