To many, it’s surprising that narrow boats can cost as much as houses but when you think about it, they really are like houses, but they sit on the water instead of land.

With a narrowboat, you have the convenience of different rooms and areas, but you also get the flexibility of moving your home up and down the river. Some narrow boats are very modern inside with all of the latest technology, gadgets and appliances, and these are the ones that will be priced much higher, whilst you can find very cheap narrow boats that need a lot of work. But there’s no doubt about it, if you buy yourself a good narrowboat, you have yourself a very homely and profitable place to stay. Many people choose to live on a narrowboat in European countries and UK citizens are nod different. You just need to make sure you have ample heating in the winter because it’s incredibly cold when the river water freezes!
