Description
Millcroft Farmhouse and Millcroft Farm Cottage are a mid-to-late 18th-century farmhouse with an adjoining cottage, extended in the 20th century. The buildings are constructed of hammer-dressed watershot stone with a 20th-century tile roof. The main farmhouse is three bays and three storeys high, with a two-storey wing to the right and a two-storey 20th-century extension to the left. A parallel range runs to the rear and appears to date from the late 18th century. The three-storey elevation features four-light windows in the first two bays, with recessed flat-faced ground floor mullions and recessed chamfered mullions on the upper floors. The third bay has a six-light, recessed cavetto-moulded mullion window on each floor. Quoins are present, along with a continuous first-floor dripmould that extends into the fourth bay. A door is located between bays two and three, with a later door, leading to the cottage, between bays one and two. The fourth bay has a door with a square-cut surround and six-light, recessed cavetto-moulded mullion windows on each floor. A rendered ridge chimney stack is visible. The rear range is characterised by quoins and continuous rows of recessed flat-faced mullion windows on each of three floors, many of which are blocked.
