Kirkby Cottage Windwhistle Ye Old Croft

Kirkby Cottage, Windwhistle, and Ye Old Croft are three dwellings that were originally an early 17th-century timber-framed farmhouse. The building is arranged in a T-plan with a continuous jetty and a two-bayed cross-wing to the west. It is two storeys high, featuring a rendered timber frame, exposed jetty, and plain tile roofs. The south gable wall of the back range has a shaped brick parapet. A ridge stack made of local red brick has four grouped octagonal shafts with moulded brick bands. The first floor includes two three-light wooden casements with rectangular leaded quarries, while the ground floor has two similar but larger windows. There is a six-panelled door aligned with the stack and an oak door to the left. Inside, the property retains original inglenook hearths and moulded ceiling beams.
