Description
Long Croft Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse with minor alterations from the mid-19th century. It is constructed of coursed dressed and squared stone, topped with a tiled roof featuring verge parapets and pitched copings on corbelled kneelers. The building has a T-shaped plan and is single-storey with an attic, displaying a three-window front. To the left, there is a projecting gable with a labelled three-light chamfered mullioned window on the first floor above a 19th-century casement window of similar size. The set-back wing includes a gabled dormer to the left of centre, which features a four-light chamfered mullioned window. There is also a labelled three-light chamfered mullioned window at the right-hand end and a blind fire window beneath the stack. A 19th-century pent porch with a boarded door is located at the return angle of the cross-wing. The rear elevation shows that the cross wing has been partially rebuilt in brick but still retains mostly complete labelled 17th-century chamfered mullioned windows. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.
