Haycroft

Haycroft is a late 17th-century farmhouse, appearing as early 18th-century in style. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with some timber framing and a sandstone and slate roof. It is two storeys and an attic, with three bays arranged in a double-pile plan. A flush sandstone plinth runs along the base. The front features a multi-glazed door with panelled lining, high plinth blocks, and an external architrave. Most windows are two-light casements with glazing bars, stone sills, and deep skewback heads with keystones. Attic windows are single-light, with the central window now sealed. The gables have ogee-moulded kneelers, and the roof has stone parapet coping that flattens to cover a triangular brick filling between the twin gables. A rear (north-east) wing is constructed partly of red sandstone and partly of timber framing. Internally, the house features ovolo, deep-bevelled, and chamfered beams, including an inglenook beam. Some timbers are visible within internal walls. There is dado panelling in a Jacobean style, six-panel doors, one with HL hinges, a staircase with a cut and bracketed string and swanneck handrail.
