Introducing Gypsy Rose, a charming 40ft cruiser stern narrowboat built by Hancock and Lane. This well-maintained vessel presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to step into life on the water. Measuring 40ft by 6ft 10in, Gypsy Rose combines classic narrowboat character with practical, comfortable living space.
Benefiting from an in water survey completed in 2025, along with blacking and a full engine service carried out the same year, Gypsy Rose offers reassurance to prospective buyers. The hull has been hot zinc sprayed followed by an epoxy coating. This is generally considered one of the best long term corrosion protection systems available for a steel narrowboat. Powered by a reliable Beta 35hp four-cylinder diesel engine with PRM gearbox and keel cooling system, she has an approximate 30-gallon fuel tank capacity. With one starter battery, three leisure batteries, and solar panels onboard, the boat is well equipped for cruising.
Constructed with a steel hull and flat bottom, Gypsy Rose features laminate flooring throughout, tongue and groove cabin sides, and top-opening windows that provide light and ventilation. The vessel’s layout offers a cosy and functional living environment. Heating is provided by electric radiators and a solid fuel stove, while hot water is supplied via a calorifier system. The stainless steel water tank holds approximately 80 gallons, supporting comfortable onboard living.
Inside, the galley is fitted with laminate worktops and includes a cooker, with space provision for the addition of a fridge. The accommodation offers two berths, with a sofa bed providing flexible sleeping arrangements. The bathroom is equipped with a pump-out toilet, shower, and vanity basin, delivering practical facilities for extended cruising. The Boat Safety Certificate is valid until June 2030.
Gypsy Rose represents a delightful blend of traditional build quality and thoughtful updates. Viewings are by appointment only, so you can really appreciate her character and potential.
