Description
Pencroft is an 18th-century house located on Weston Maiden Lane. It features a timber frame set on a low black painted sill, with roughcast walls and a steeply pitched thatched roof that is half-hipped at the west end and adorned with a decorative ridge. There are tiled roofs on the low extensions at both the east and west ends. The house is designed with three cells and has an internal chimney, which has one flue located a third of the way from the west end, along with a single-flue chimney that projects from the east gable. The north front of the house includes two flush two-light casement windows on either side of a central entrance, which features a four-panel flush-beaded door set in a gabled thatched porch. The house is set back from the road and stands at one and a half storeys tall.
