Description

Dorney Cottage is a building dating from the 16th or 17th century. It features a timber-framed structure with colour-washed brick nogging and an old tile roof that includes some fishscale tiles, topped with a square chimney on the ridge. The cottage has two storeys.

On the left side, there is a hall that extends through both storeys, which has a gable end with barge-boards. This section contains a large 18th-century window with iron Y-tracery, and there is also 18th-century iron tracery work applied inside. The rest of the elevation includes a central projecting gable. On the first floor, there are four two-light casement windows with large diamond panes. The ground floor features a modern enclosed porch, with a four-light casement window on the left that has glazing, a one-light casement window on the right with large diamond glazing bars and a few fleurons, and another two-light casement window with diamond-paned leaded lights.
