'Jenny Wren' is a classic 1957 Broom Robb, a beautifully built traditional wooden Broads cruiser crafted by the esteemed Broom Boats. She has recently benefited from a full restoration and refit by Broom themselves, carried out with exceptional care and no expense spared. In the current ownership since 2018, she has been lovingly maintained to an impeccable standard, with continuous attention to both her appearance and mechanical condition. Her recent works include a freshly repainted hull, re-varnished topsides, new all-over protective cover, refurbished gearbox, a complete rewire, new batteries, and a modern charging system.
Powered by a reliable Nanni engine—renowned for its smooth performance and dependability—'Jenny Wren' offers not just style but confident cruising capability. Her interior provides comfortable accommodation with two inviting berths, a well-equipped galley for onboard cooking, and a heads compartment located to port. Finished with classic charm and modern practicality, this Broom Robb is in exceptional condition throughout and is a true testament to traditional boatbuilding at its finest.

The accommodation aboard 'Jenny Wren' is thoughtfully laid out to provide both comfort and practicality, making her ideal for relaxed cruising on the Broads. Midships to starboard, the compact yet efficient galley is equipped with a two-burner hob, stainless steel sink, and ample storage for provisions and cooking essentials. A generously sized refrigerator is cleverly positioned beneath the helm seat in the cockpit, offering convenient access without compromising space or aesthetics.
Forward of the galley lies the saloon, a welcoming area with comfortable seating that easily converts to sleep two guests overnight, making the most of the boat's space while retaining a cosy, traditional feel. Opposite the galley, to port, is the heads compartment, which includes a marine WC, sink, and useful storage options for toiletries and cleaning supplies.
