Kathleen Rose is a well presented boat that has clearly been lovingly maintained by her current owners over the past 17 years. Offering a warm and inviting interior throughout, she would make an ideal first boat, whether for leisure cruising or comfortable liveaboard use.

 

Bedroom,
Accessed from the stern, the bedroom is a welcoming and practical space that immediately reflects the level of care the boat has received. To port is a fixed double bed with generous storage beneath, including three drawers and a large access panel to the rear. Overhead are two useful storage cupboards, while at the foot of the bed is a full height wardrobe housing the 12v electrical panel and the Alde gas boiler (currently disconnected). To starboard is a floor cupboard containing the calorifier with a mirror fitted above. Natural light is provided by three portholes, giving the cabin a bright and airy feel.

 

Bathroom,
Located forward of the bedroom on the port side, the bathroom is bright, functional, and well laid out. It features a hip bath with shower mixer, a corner vanity unit with inset hand basin, and a Traveller drop through pump out toilet.

 

Galley,
Positioned centrally within the boat, the well-appointed galley offers excellent worktop and storage space. To port is a stainless steel sink set into a laminate work surface, with a double-doored cupboard below, alongside a 12v fridge and LPG oven & grill and four burner hob. Additional storage is provided by a wall cupboard and open shelving. On the starboard side, double doors allow plenty of natural light and ventilation into the space. Beneath is a further double doored cupboard, along with a practical folding double leaf table.

 

Saloon,
Situated at the bow, the saloon is both comfortable and versatile. To port is an L-shaped seating area that converts into an additional double berth using the newly upholstered cushions as a mattress, with useful storage beneath for bedding and other items. Opposite, on the starboard side, is a wall mounted keyboard storage unit which can also serve as a compact writing desk and can easily be removed if preferred. The solid fuel stove is neatly positioned against the forward bulkhead, complemented by a corner storage unit with shelving above. Large windows allow plenty of natural light to flood the space.

​

Exterior,
The exterior paintwork is in fair condition and the cabin sides remain free from rust, with all surfaces well protected. The bow benefits from a timber framed enclosure, creating an excellent seating area that can be enjoyed throughout the year. Storage lockers double as seating and are complemented by a folding table. Roof hatches provide convenient access and ventilation. The stern deck is open and features hardwood topped seat rails, along with a useful storage box positioned over the deck boards. The engine bay is clean and tidy.
