Sell it. I don't care for the water or boats
I like the kids room....and i bet the kids just love the room
I really wanted to like this more than I did. Aspects about it are great, but the childrens bedroom is horrible. It is like they are being put out of the way. The space could have been used so much better so that their children had a spece that they could grow into.
Lovely design except I'd have put the bathroom between the two bedrooms. Made the living space just a bit shorter and given the kids a bit more space. Suppose they don't intend to live on this very long though.
That’s a “no” from me on the layout. Just need to squeeze past dad on the toilet to get to the kitchen.

If nothing else they could have put the bathroom in the kids bedroom and made the doorway bigger. Not the best layout really,but it does look nice
Magnificent! Wonderful new home beautifully crafted.
I hope you have a fantastic life in your boat!
Bedroom shenanigans is out then?? I wonder how long they could live with that arrangement?
Might as well have put two mattresses in the bilges for the kids!
I would have no trouble with the height I am only 5ft 2in . Wow 🤩 looks beautiful.
I would've done without a dedicated utility-room, after all, a washer-drier takes up only around one sq metre!

The parents have their own bedroom. Life changes once you become a parent.

I suppose it's best when they are little, but you are right. I personally would not like it. Once their kids get older, they will probably have to move too.

Not keen on the layout. They’ve not thought about future use.
Terrible use of space. Could be so much more efficient
hi, where i find a barge to buy?
What is the maintenance cost. Think hull grinding/painting? how often?

Hull blacking every 3-4 years. 1500 quid, half that if you do it yourself.

Couldn't they I don't know maybe instead of raising the roof lower the floor?

That would be a lot trickier. You'd need to add a lot of weight to keep the boat down, and that weight would itself take up space. Also, canals aren't that deep.

Lots of people live on boats, especially canal boats in the uk. If _they’re_ in london, it’s often all they can afford. Why do you struggle with the concept?

Not strictly free still pay a pricey mooring (if you can even get one) and other costs @@JulieWallis1963
Um that kid is going to hate living there when she hits 15. She has to go through her parents bedroom to go to the bathroom. Forget boyfriends coming over.

Hits 15? Kids get bigger than that bedroom by the time they're 7. Forget social life, privacy etc.

They'll probably extend it, or sell it and work on a new one. They more than likely took their children's future into mind.
Very poor access to kids room not very well thought out
