Update, April 2024: now sold!

My ideal canalside home has just come up for sale at Barlaston near Stoke on Trent and the owners are seeking a very particular type of person to buy it. Could it be you? I went for a tour because I'm very nosy.

Note! I am not being paid for this, I'm not on commission, it's not an advert. I genuinely wanted to see round and thought I'd make a video in case other people were interested.

The estate agent listing can be found at barlaston-boatyard.uk

And Sheridan's written an extensive history of the site at sheridanparsons.exp.uk.com/latest-news/the-history-of-barlaston-boatyard
