Details

Description

I lived aboard the boat whilst working in Manchester and Liverpool (both are around half an hour's drive away from the marina, where secure parking is available with the mooring) but have since changed jobs and relocated to Glasgow, hence the need to make this reluctant sale.

The moorings for the boat are transferable, subject to approval from Northwich Marina, and cost £115/month, paid quarterly (I will include this quarter's fees with the boat sale, so next payment due early October). This includes water, which is supplied from a standpipe on the pontoons for filling the onboard tank. 240v electricity is supplied from your own individual pre-payment meter.

The marina is right in the centre of Northwich on the River Weaver, near the famous Anderton Boatlift which gives access to the Trent & Mersey canal. There are plenty of shops, pubs and other facilities within walking distance and a parking space is included with the moorings, within the marina compound which is accessible via a locking gate, for berth-holders' security. The British Waterways office is across the river, with a BW service point about 100m down-river, where pump-out facilities are available.

If you have any queries regarding the boat or require further information about anything listed above, please do not hesitate to contact me. Viewings are available during normal business hours Mon-Sat but please contact me beforehand to advise. The boat is advertised elsewhere and this listing will be closed early if an offer is accepted and the sale completed.

NB: A valuation certificate of £45,000 is available from July 2007 when a survey was carried out by Brian Hayes, President of the Association of Boat Safety Examiners. Payment can be made by cheque or bank transfer. Keys and documentation will be transferred with ownership on receipt of cleared funds.
