Description
Croft House and the attached outbuilding are a pair of estate cottages built in 1906 by and for John Douglas. They are constructed of pink brick in English garden wall bond, with buff terracotta dressings, and feature an upper storey that is timber-framed with plastered infill. The cottages have a purple tile roof with two ridge brick chimneys that have pilasters.
The south front is symmetrical and consists of four bays over two storeys. The upper storey displays large panels with arch braces on a continuous bressumer, which is decorated with roundels and the inscription "FEAR GOD HONOUR THE KING LOVE THE BROTHERHOOD." There are two timber-framed half dormers, each with pairs of 2-light wooden casements that have baluster decoration below. The tiebeams are inscribed with "JD" and "STD" in Gothick lettering. The end bays below feature 4-light terracotta windows with basket arched heads and turned column baluster mullions. The central pair of bays is recessed, with the bressumer supported by a braced wooden post. The main portion has single lights in reveals and 4-light windows with segmental heads. The date is displayed on the gable end, and there is an entry to the rear.
Attached to the rear by a coped brick wall are a pair of 1-storey outbuildings, which include a wash house and toilet, built in similar materials. The interior does not have any special features. Croft House is also part of Douglas's Village Green, which includes the church and nos. 80 and 82 Weaverham Road.
