Description
The Croft is a farmhouse, possibly dating from the 17th century, which has been converted into two dwellings. It features a hall and cross-wing plan and stands two storeys high. The exterior is rough-cast render over a timber frame, with a casing of yellow 19th-century gault brick. A red brick ridge stack includes a recessed plastered panel. The roofs are thatched. There are two casement windows with glazing bars on the first floor and three on the ground floor. The property also has two plank doors, each with an open gabled porch that includes decorated barge boards and finials.
