Description
Dooleys is a cottage dated 1710, constructed with a red brick facade and featuring a red plain tiled gambrel roof. It has three red brick chimney stacks and is one storey high with attics. The building includes four gabled dormers with plaster at the apex and a moulded eaves cornice. There is a six-window range of small paned casements and a vertically boarded door, which has the date 1710 inscribed above it. Locally, it is believed that the cottage was used as almshouses at one time.
