Description
The Croft and Croft Cottage is a house and cottage built around 1840, constructed from rock-faced stone and topped with a Welsh slate roof, designed in the Tudor style. The building features a two-storey, three-bay house on the right, which is attached to a single-storey, three-bay cottage.
Both properties have late 19th-century Art Nouveau-style doors set in chamfered surrounds with shouldered lintels. Lead Art Nouveau lamps are attached to the door jambs. On the ground floor, there are two-light mullioned windows with hoodmoulds and leaded casements that have small diamond-shaped panes at the intersections. The first floor of the house has four-pane sash windows with applied imitation leaded panes.
The roof is gabled, featuring kneelers and 19th-century brick stacks at the ends and ridge. The cottage includes a 20th-century dormer window.
