The solid oak, curved top door that leads through from the galley to the bedroom would provide an impressive entrance to any manorial bedroom - and, in its way, it does here as the art deco exuberance of Huff 'n' Puff continued unabated.

It's relatively unusual to position the bedroom directly after the galley. More typically the bathroom is next - plumbing becomes simpler and the toilet tends to be in demand during an evening's socialising!

But for Jan, who has had some health problems, and Graham, and probably for other couples on live-aboards, the layout makes a lot of sense as the core of the boat becomes one coherent living area.

The bedroom reverts to the traditional curved roof style in oak lined with delicate  inlay work around all the doors and drawers. More art deco touches are seen in the sun ray design of the bed headboard and the quarter circle dressing table just inside the door.

The bed itself sits lengthways and is raised quite high from the floor to provide good underbed storage. In fact there are no less than twelve drawers - six are immediately accessible from the side of the bed but each is liked to a hidden drawer behind which it also pulls forward when opened. In this way winter (or summer) clothes can be stored out of the way but still accessed if need be.

There is good clothes stowage throughout the room, with an ample wardrobe, over bed cupboards and a small set of drawers.
