Lorien is a stunning 50ft traditional stern narrowboat, built by the esteemed Colecraft in 1989 and lovingly maintained to an exceptional standard. Designed with fully off-grid living in mind, Lorien offers a seamless blend of timeless craftsmanship and modern upgrades, making her a perfect choice for liveaboards, weekend cruisers, or those seeking a life afloat with all the comforts of home. With her solid wooden flooring throughout, spray foam insulation, and both pram and cratch covers, she’s as practical as she is charming.
Powered by a robust 1.8 BMC engine, Lorien has been fitted with impressive energy solutions to support off-grid independence. Four 60mph lithium iron batteries with BMS are paired with four 400W solar panels, ensuring reliable, sustainable energy wherever the journey takes you. A 3kW inverter powers modern appliances with ease, while the 7kW multifuel stove keeps the boat toasty in all seasons. A 400L stainless steel water tank and 70L fuel tank further support extended cruising.
Inside, Lorien offers a warm and inviting interior with a spacious 6’1” cabin height. The layout begins with a tranquil master bedroom featuring a double bed, overhead storage, and reading lights—ideal for restful nights aboard. The bathroom follows, equipped with a full-size enclosed shower, a compost toilet with a 12V carbon filter and fan, and a stylish vanity unit, all designed to provide convenience without compromise.
The galley is a real highlight—open-plan, airy, and functional. Solid wooden countertops and sleek under-counter cupboards set the tone, complemented by a Hobsir induction hob, Morphy Richards electric oven, and a Logic washing machine. An integrated fridge and a charming breakfast bar with two stools overlook the swan hatch, making it a perfect spot for morning coffee or watching the water go by.
Toward the bow, the cosy saloon welcomes you with a pull-out sofa bed, a JVC Smart HD-ready TV, and an LG sound bar for evenings of entertainment. The large storage cupboard and multifuel stove add warmth and practicality, creating a relaxed and comfortable living space.
With her thoughtful layout, stylish touches, and self-sufficient systems, Lorien stands as a perfect example of how traditional design can meet modern needs. She’s not just a boat—she’s a beautifully crafted floating home, ready to take her next owner on a peaceful journey through the waterways.
