UK: KENT

The interiors of this ex-passenger ferry need to be seen to be believed, as they have been converted into a lovely spacious home. The well-thought-out conversion of the Edith – dating from 1960 – gives six large double bedrooms, four of which are en suite, and a spacious lounge adjacent to a fully fitted kitchen that opens out on to a terrace. A spiral staircase links the bedrooms to the upper deck, with more deck space above at wheelhouse level. The boat retains its engine room – though not currently in running order – it could be refurbished for cruising. Price: £275,000 (€320,128). Agent: premierhouseboats.co.uk
