Couple swap three-bed house for narrowboat so they can save up for their dream home

A young couple who have decided to swap their three-bedroom home for a 65ft narrowboat has said the savings will be "massive".

Ellie Jones and Harry Barker, both 28, are leaving dry land behind in favour of a home on the water and are preparing for a "completely different way of life".

The newly engaged couple are set to move on to the boat, named Shirley, in March and will be based in Northwich, Cheshire, during the week while they'll spend their weekends exploring cities like Liverpool and Manchester.
