Description

Timber Dooley, located at No. 6 Chapel Row, is a cottage dating from the early to mid-17th century. It is constructed of plastered local stone rubble, with the stone rubble stack topped by 20th-century brick, and features a thatched roof. The cottage has a two-room plan and faces the lane to the southwest. The front doorway leads directly into the larger left room, which has a gable-end stack, while a small unheated lobby is to the right. This cottage is the end unit of a row in Chapel Row and is believed to be older than most of the others in the row.

The exterior presents a nearly symmetrical two-window front with 20th-century casements featuring glazing bars, arranged around a central doorway that has an old oak frame and a 20th-century door. The roof is gable-ended on the left, while on the right it continues with the roof of the adjoining No. 5 Chapel Row, although the ridge and eaves of No. 5 are slightly lower.

Inside, the main ground floor room features a chamfered and scroll-stopped crossbeam, which is not a straight timber, and a stone rubble fireplace with a plain oak lintel. There is no exposed carpentry in the unheated room. The roof has two bays supported by a side-pegged jointed cruck filled with oak framing. The roofspace is not accessible, but it may contain evidence of the building's earlier origins. Timber Dooley is part of a notable group of mostly thatch-roofed buildings that make up the hamlet of Street.
