If this is your dream, then it could become a reality thanks to a quirky feature from Purple Bricks. For offers of above £120,000, you could own a two-bedroom wide beamed narrowboat.
Named ‘Captain Jack’, the boat is moored in Castlefield and has plenty of charm both inside and out. One of the bedrooms has bunk beds, under bed storage, and a hidden washer/dryer, and the master bedroom with a full king-size bed and fitted wardrobes.
The bathroom offers a full-size bath, shower, hand basin, and a flushing electric pump-out toilet. In it’s current location, the house boat is on the doorstep of Castlefield Bowl, The Science & Industry Museum, Deansgate train station and Deansgate-Castlefield Metrolink stop.
The boat was created in fine detail by renowned designer Will Trickett and is made from wood reclaimed from buildings in Somerset. The mooring and license for the boat is £330.
