A one-bedroom pad is on the market for a staggering £1,490 per month… and it’s a boat.
The barge house measures just 432 sq ft.
But it fits in everything you would expect to see in a typical house.
This includes a fairly spacious kitchen diner and open-plan living room.

The boat is moored on Albion Quay, Battersea, south London – on the River Thames.
However, it is still nearly half the price of one-bedroom properties in the area.
The average rent for one in the area is £2,640 per month, according to experts.
