Hi, and thanks for looking at my ad for this Norman 23 for sale on behalf of the owner.  She was built in 1979 and is in working condition and with the benefit of a lovely little Gypsy stove - she is a narrowboat so can navigate the entire river and canal network.  If you look around you'll see that the asking price of only £1,950 is very reasonable for this model of Norman in working condition as they have such a great reputation for value for money and cruising ability; she is advertised for sale elsewhere.The boat is in working condition and can be used and cruised straight away but will benefit from work and improvement.The mooring is fully transferable to the new owner and is in an ideal location in Egham / Old Windsor on the River Thames.  The town centre is only a short walk away and has a full range of banks, shops, launderette, pubs and restaurants.  It also boasts a mainline station running into London Waterloo including stops at Clapham Junction.  The boatyard is small and friendly and everyone is welcome and the boat can be viewed there.Manufactured in 1979 and launched as the Norman 23This is a narrowbeam boat so can cruise all of the canal and river network
