Welcome aboard Happy Soul, a charming 45ft semi-trad narrowboat that truly lives up to her name. Lovingly owned and enjoyed for the past five years, she has provided countless happy memories and is now ready to begin her next adventure with new owners.
During their ownership, the current owners have carefully repainted both the interior and exterior, creating a bright, clean, and welcoming living space. With just a little TLC, Happy Soul offers an excellent opportunity for anyone looking for a comfortable cruising boat, whether for weekends away, extended holidays, or life afloat.
Entering from the semi-trad stern, you'll find a cosy bedroom featuring a queen-size double bed with a nearly new mattress, generous under-bed storage, shelving, and plenty of practical space for personal belongings.
The bathroom is surprisingly spacious and light, fitted with a compost toilet, a large shower, wash basin with vanity unit, and ample storage, making it both practical and comfortable for everyday use.
The well-equipped galley provides everything needed for life on board, including a free-standing four-burner cooker with separate oven and grill, an integrated stainless-steel sink with mixer tap, attractive solid wood worktops, and an excellent range of cupboards and drawers offering plentiful storage.
Forward of the galley, the inviting saloon features a comfortable L-shaped seating area with a detachable folding table, making it ideal for dining or entertaining. A solid fuel stove provides warmth and character, while additional storage is thoughtfully incorporated throughout. Twin glazed doors lead out onto the generous well deck, offering the perfect spot to relax with a morning coffee or enjoy al fresco dining with a table and chairs.
Powered by the ever-popular and reliable Isuzu 35hp engine paired with a PRM gearbox, Happy Soul is well suited to cruising the inland waterways with confidence. She also benefits from a substantial 550-litre stainless steel water tank and an approximately 150-litre fuel tank, allowing for extended periods between refuelling and filling up.
Built by Liverpool Boats with a fit-out by David Greenwood, the practical layout flows from Semi-Trad Stern → Bedroom → Bathroom → Galley → Saloon → Well Deck, creating a comfortable and functional living space that makes excellent use of her 45-foot length.
Happy Soul is a bright, welcoming narrowboat with plenty of charm and character. She represents an ideal first boat or a manageable cruising vessel for couples, with the potential to increase accommodation to four berths if required. Ready to bring many more years of enjoyment to her next owners, Happy Soul is waiting to write the next chapter of her story.
