A stunning sailing barge used in the making of the new Christopher Nolan epic Dunkirk is on the market for £425,000.
Xylonite features in the highly anticipated war film which stars Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Cillian Murphy and former One Direction singer Harry Styles in his first film role.
Although it was not involved in the real Operation Dynamo - when multiple Thames barges went across the Channel to help the Allied soldiers stranded on the beach at Dunkirk in 1940 - Xylonite was built in 1926 and its exterior has changed very little from its pre-war days, which made it perfect for the movie.
But inside the 86ft boat has been transformed into a stunning houseboat with a spacious open plan living area, fully-fitted galley and bedrooms, whilst keeping many period features.
