Broker's Comments

A Herbert Woods built wooden Cruiser from a bygone era that would be ideal as a live aboard whist studying locally or saving for a deposit for a mortgage or as a weekend retreat.
She is in full working order so could be equally used as a cruiser offering long stays aboard.
She has heating, a good sized calorifier and immersion heater, hot water and shower etc and has a replacement 1.6 litre Ford XLD Diesel engine.
She needs a little work to make her 100% as most do but there is nothing whatsoever that needs attention in order to start using her immediately.
