Welcome aboard Firebird, a stunning, beautifully refurbished 57ft traditional stern narrowboat that combines the strength of a Tim Tyler (Tyler Wilson) hull with a high-quality, fully bespoke interior refit. Powered by the reliable Beta Marine 38hp engine, Firebird is as practical as she is stylish.
Originally built in 2003, Firebird has undergone a complete transformation in recent years. The hull and superstructure were stripped back and treated with two coats of Jotun two-pack epoxy plus new anodes in March 2022, ensuring excellent protection below the waterline. In 2025, the roof and side panels were professionally repainted, giving the boat a fresh, modern look. Internally, everything has been carefully redesigned and refitted to a very high standard, presenting the boat in “as new” condition.
Whether you’re seeking a full-time liveaboard or a stylish leisure craft, Firebird offers stunning contemporary comfort and long-lasting build quality.
The galley was fully refitted in March 2022 and has been designed with both practicality and modern style in mind. It features Corian worktops, a full-sized freestanding 4-burner cooker with oven and grill, a 70/30 fridge freezer, and a stainless steel sink with mixer tap. With ample storage in cupboards and drawers, this is a well-equipped space perfect for extended cruising or everyday living.
Light floods into the saloon through three large double-glazed roof panels, creating a bright and airy living space. A bubble corner solid fuel stove with tiled surround makes a cosy centrepiece, complemented by a custom-built L-shaped upholstered sofa and a large matching armchair. A large smart TV with remote control is included, alongside under-gunnel mood lighting and plenty of built-in storage. This is a versatile, comfortable space ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
Completely refitted in 2025, the bedroom features an extendable double bed with a brand new mattress (2025) for maximum comfort. There’s also a full-sized wardrobe and generous storage solutions, making the space both functional and inviting.
Also refurbished in March 2022, the bathroom is stylish and practical. It includes a ceramic cassette toilet, ceramic washbasin set over a Corian-topped vanity unit, and an extra-large shower enclosure with glazed doors. High-quality finishes make this space feel modern and refreshing.
Firebird is a stunning opportunity to own a beautifully renovated narrowboat, carefully and professionally refitted inside and out. With its strong pedigree hull, bulletproof engine, and extensive modern upgrades, this boat offers peace of mind and contemporary comfort in equal measure. Ideal for a couple or solo boater, Firebird is ready to cruise and enjoy from day one, with nothing left to do but move aboard and set off on your next adventure.
