Description
Croft House is a late 18th or early 19th century house, originally built of red brick with a dentil eaves cornice and a clay tile roof. It is L-shaped, with a rear extension. The house has two storeys and three windows at the front. The windows are glazing bar sashes; the outer windows have 16 panes, the central one is narrower with 12 panes, and all have shaped stone lintels. The front door is recessed, featuring six panels, panelled reveals, a glazed overlight, and is flanked by Tuscan columns supporting a flat topped hood.
Inside, there is a good 18th century open-well staircase with a moulded string and handrail, square newels, and turned balusters. Stick balusters are present from the first floor to the attic. Other joinery includes six-panel doors leading from the entrance hall, and fielded panel and 18th century plank doors on the first floor landing. A deeply chamfered axial beam with straight cut-stops is visible on the first floor landing. A roughly chamfered axial beam without stops is in a ground floor room of the rear wing, and a large side purlin is visible in the main range. The house was altered in the 19th century and subsequently converted into flats in the 20th century.
