Corn Dolly is an attractive 57ft narrowboat, built in 2004 by the respected boatbuilder Jonathan Wilson. Her forward layout has been thoughtfully designed to provide both comfort and practicality, featuring a master cabin with fixed double berth aft, a well-appointed bathroom with pump-out toilet, a walkthrough galley, and a spacious saloon offering both freestanding furniture and fixed seating to port and starboard. Powered by a Barrus Shire 50hp 4-cylinder diesel engine, Corn Dolly is well equipped for extended cruising. Onboard comfort is assured with a diesel-fired Eberspacher central heating system, a multifuel stove in the saloon, and hot water is supplied via both the central heating and engine calorifier. Modern convenience is further supported by 240V and 12V electrics. At 57ft, she is perfectly sized to navigate the full UK inland waterways network. Available for viewing seven days a week at Pyrford Marina, please contact the team on 01932 340739 to arrange an appointment.

Interior Arrangements

Master Cabin

The relaxing and practical master cabin features a fixed double bed with an overhead shelf and reading spotlights. A good-sized wardrobe with both shelving and hanging space provides ample storage for personal belongings.

Bathroom

The bathroom makes excellent use of space, offering a good-sized shower enclosure, a pump-out toilet, and a vanity unit with a ceramic hand basin.

Galley

The walk-through galley kitchen is fitted to a high standard, finished with Iroko wood work surfaces and bespoke cabinetry. Appliances include a 4-burner gas hob, oven and grill, a 240V 6kg Samsung washing machine, and a 240V Logik fridge. A stainless-steel sink with drainer and a port-side hatch ensure plenty of natural light and ventilation, creating a bright and practical working space.

Saloon

The open-plan saloon features two freestanding armchairs opposite a multifuel stove. If preferred, the armchairs could be replaced with a sofa bed to provide an additional two berths. Fixed port and starboard bench seating also converts into a cross-width double berth when required, with useful storage space beneath.
