Description

Kings Croft is a farmhouse that has been converted into a hotel, likely built in the early 19th century. It is constructed from ashlar sandstone and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has a double-depth plan, is two storeys high with a loft, and consists of three bays on the front.

The central entrance is a six-panel door topped by a fanlight with radial glazing bars, all set within a round-arched surround that has a canopy supported by elongated consoles. Above the door, there is a sash window with glazing bars. The outer bays project in a semi-circular shape and each has a sash window with glazing bars on both floors, flanked by 8-pane sash windows. These windows are all set in flush surrounds with projecting sills. The building features a cornice with blocking and tall stacks at each end.

The rear and left side of the building are mostly hidden by 20th-century extensions that are not of special interest, although there is a round-headed window in the left gable. On the right side, there is a part-glazed door with a small canopy supported by brackets to its right, as well as a canted bay window that matches the front bow window and has a modillion cornice on its pitched lead roof. Above the door is a round-arched sash window with 20 panes and radial glazing at the top, along with a round-arched window in the gable.

Inside, the ground-floor front room on the left features a door with six reeded panels in an architrave, a panelled dado below a chair rail, and plaster wall panels with some indented corners. The frieze displays urns and tiny dentils, along with central ceiling decoration. To the right, there is a dog-leg staircase with turned balusters.
