Wren - 50 ft / 1991 Liverpool Boat Co. / traditional stern Narrowboat

We are selling our beloved Narrowboat WREN that we have been living on for the past 4 years. Lots of work has been done from interior renovations to engine and exterior paint job. It is a traditional layout, so the cabin is at the stern. Our main entrance is via the bow. The boat will be taken out of the water for a final blacking before the sale 13th-20th May at Stansted Abbotts Marina. Last full out of water survey has been done July 2021.
