Description
Prior’s Croft is a house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, situated in Dorney village. It is constructed with a timber frame and red brick infill. The first-floor section of one gable end projects, supported by corbels. The bargeboards are likely from an earlier 19th-century structure. The windows are fitted with modern diamond-paned leaded glass. The roof is covered in old tiles. The house is two storeys high. On the first floor is a four-light casement with two small slit windows located above. The ground floor has a four-light mullioned and transomed casement, with an additional window above the transom on each side. A short section of the ‘L’ shape has two gabled dormers with bargeboards on the first floor, and two three-light casements on the ground floor.
