Croft House

Croft House is a farmhouse, now a house, likely dating from the later 17th century and subsequently altered. It is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble, rendered and painted white, with a stone slate roof and rebuilt gable chimneys. The main gable faces the road. The building is two bays of unequal width. The left side of the facade has a gabled, single-storey porch, offset from the first bay. A low, three-light window is to the left of the porch, and a taller three-light window to the right. At the first floor, there are three three-light windows. All windows feature slightly recessed, chamfered mullions. The right gable wall (facing the road) contains inserted windows on both floors. The rear elevation has a relocated 16th-century mullioned window at the first floor, comprised of six deeply-recessed round-headed lights with hollow spandrels and a hoodmould, originating from Chapel House, Nelson. The interior has largely been altered, possibly during the 19th century, but the second bay retains a segmental-headed stone fireplace with a moulded surround and corbelled jambs supporting a massive lintel with a moulded cornice. This fireplace is likely a restored feature.
