The Doles is a charming lock-side cottage, which has been sensitively upgraded by the current owners and retains a wealth of period features.

Originally the lock keepers cottage and a parlour pub; ‘Doles Inn Good Stabling' once painted can still be seen - a legacy of the canal and old drovers road it sits beside.

A charming sitting room features a wood burning stove and the original parlour pub hatch. The dining room features two in-built wooden cupboards and a flagstone floor. This leads into the kitchen, which features modern base units, traditional brick floor and stable door looking towards the canal. There is also a utility room, which is set at a lower ground floor level.

The first floor provides three double bedrooms and a family bathroom with separate shower and bath. Above the staircase is an impressive feature wattle wall, which further adds to the character of the property.

An adjoining, two storey outbuilding has planning permission for conversion to a holiday let (ref: 20/01422/FUL) or could be integrated into the main house or used as a potential annexe, subject to any necessary consents, depending on preference.

The property benefits from off street parking and a garage base laid in readiness for a detached double garage, for which there is also planning permission. There is ample lawn garden (approximately 0.25 acres) with bountiful apple, pear and plum trees and a patio overlooking the canal.
