Description
OSLO is an exceptional 70ft Northwich Trader, combining timeless character, substantial cruising capability and beautifully crafted accommodation. Built by R W Davies in 1999 and owner-fitted in solid oak, she offers an authentic traditional interior with solid oak T&G flooring and abundant storage throughout.
Her renowned Gardner 3LW engine, paired with a PRM 500 gearbox, provides dependable propulsion, while recent servicing and October 2025 blacking offer reassuring evidence of continued care. Six berths make her ideal for extended cruising or entertaining, with a charming boatman’s cabin, well-equipped electric galley, washing machine and pump-out toilet.
Two stoves and Eberspacher diesel heating provide a versatile heating arrangement, while brass portholes, pigeon roof boxes and distinctive red and brown paintwork enhance her unmistakable character. OSLO is a truly special traditional narrowboat with individuality in abundance.
