Description
Croom House is a farmhouse built in the late 18th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of reddish-brown brick in Flemish bond, featuring red brick and ashlar dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof. The building has a T-shaped plan, with the main facade consisting of three storeys and two bays, the right bay being set back, and a two-bay range to the left.
The entrances are located on the returns of the left-hand bay. The right entrance features a six-fielded-panel door with an overlight that has vertical glazing bars, set into a projecting porch. The left return has a board door with an overlight and vertical glazing bars under a cambered head with a keystone.
On the main facade, the ground floor has a tripartite window, with the center being an unequally hung, nine-pane sash flanked by two unequally hung three-pane sashes, all under an elliptical arch made of red gauged brick with an ashlar keystone. To the right, there is a six-pane sash under a similar elliptical arch. The first floor features, to the left, a Venetian window in a tooled ashlar surround, with the center being a twelve-pane sash that has radial glazing at the head under a round arch with an ashlar keystone. The second floor of the left bay has a twelve-pane, unequally hung sash with radial glazing in an ashlar architrave with a keystone. The right bay contains a twelve-pane round-headed stair window situated between the first and second floors. The eaves are stepped, and the roof is hipped with ridge and side stacks.
The upper storey of the left range is from the 20th century and is of no special interest. The rear facade is made of ashlar and has two storeys and two bays. Each floor features plate-glass sashes below flat stone arches with keystones, with the ground floor windows being very tall. A moulded eaves cornice completes the design.
