A couple have decided to give up living in bricks and mortar in exchange for life on a narrowboat. Ellie Jones and Harry Barker, both 28, owned a house together in Northwich but have now chosen to opt for a 'completely different way of life' on the water.
The newly engaged couple will pay rent to live on Ellie's parent's 65ft narrowboat which they were initially going to sell, and in the meantime they will rent out their own three-bed home in Northwich.
Ellie and Harry are making the move in the hopes of saving up for their dream, future home in Altrincham. The couple predict that they'll be able to save around £1,000 per month by living on the narrowboat.
