Dorothy Rose is a semi-traditional narrowboat, built in 2007, offering a practical, comfortable and cosy layout. Designed in a traditional configuration, the boat accommodates up to four people, with a permanent double berth at the aft and a convertible sofa bed in the foreward saloon. The galley is equipped with gas cooking facilities, an undercounter fridge with freezer compartment, and there is a portable twin tub washer/dryer onboard, providing all the essentials for life on the water. The bathroom features a shower over bath, washbasin, and cassette toilet. Comfort is ensured year-round with a Webasto diesel boiler heating the onboard radiators, alongside a solid fuel stove, while hot water is supplied via the engine, boiler, and immersion heater. A survey conducted in January 2026 identified some pitting to the baseplate (approximately 4 5mm deep). A straightforward remedial maintenance plan has been recommended, including pad welding at the next docking. Buyers may also wish to consider grit blasting, pad welding, and the application of a two-pack epoxy coating for long-term protection. The full survey report is available to read.
