Three-bedroom Dutch barge on sale at Pin Mill for £395,000

The barge, named Adrianto, was originally built in the Netherlands in 1951 and "has been thoughtfully transformed into a highly individual and design-led waterfront home", said selling agent Suffolk Coastal.

The agent added: "Moored in an extraordinary setting on the banks of the River Orwell and surrounded by National Trust woodland, Adrianto offers a rare opportunity to acquire a permanent waterside residence with a lifestyle that is almost impossible to replicate elsewhere on the Suffolk coast."
