Is your New Year’s resolution to be a little bit bolder in terms of your home surroundings? What could be more bolder than living the good life within the canals of London? Peach Properties have recently listed a two bed, 22m Dutch Barge on Zoopla for £150,000 - well under the average asking price for a first time buyer.
The boat retains some of its original features including porthole style windows throughout, creating an appealing retro aesthetic indoors juxtaposed with modern furnishings including a fitted kitchen, an updated bathroom including shower cubicle, and an open plan reception room that allows for a lounge set and small home office to be set up.
Best of all, rather than a fold out bed in the communal area, the sizable barge contains two bedrooms - one of which makes use of space built upwards while the second, master bedroom is every bit as welcome as those found on solid ground.

4. Though the lounge may not look like there is room to include any home office equipment...
