Description
Croftlands is a house built in 1833, constructed from sandstone ashlar with a stone slate roof. It features a symmetrical Tudor Gothic design, consisting of two storeys and three bays. Each window is fitted with a mullion and a transom, topped with a hood. The building has narrow octagonal corner turrets that are capped with ogee finials. The central gable displays three similar finials and a decorative tracery border that encloses a shield of arms with a crest and motto. The entrance door is adorned with tracery and has a surround with a Tudor-arched head and spandrel decoration. Above the door, there is a plaque that reads: 'HANC DOMVM SITV VETVSTIORIS EXTRVXIT THOMAS BERRY AD MDCCXLV. INSTAVRAVIT RI SPARLING-BERRY ANNO DOMINI MDCCCXXXIII.' This translates to: 'In 1745, Thomas Berry built this house on the site of an older one. Richard Sparling-Berry restored it in 1833.' The gable chimneys are topped with diagonal caps.
