Description

Croxley House is a large house that has been converted into an old people's home. It was built around 1770 and extended in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of red brick, which was once covered in stucco, and features a shallow hipped slate roof. The facade has nine bays arranged in a 1:2:3:2:1 pattern and stands two storeys high.

On the garden front, the central three bays project slightly and include a full-height bow window. There are three French windows on the ground floor, and the first floor has glazing bar sash windows with stone sills, all topped with gauged brick flat arched heads. The flanking bays also have glazing bar sashes, with 16 panes on the first floor. The outer bays have blocked basements, a plinth, glazing bar sashes, and an oriel window on the ground floor to the right. The original end bays project slightly, and the eaves are boxed. The roof features a central axial stack and flanking cross axial stacks.

To the right, there is a link to a three-bay 19th-century addition that includes a porch with a pilastered surround and a corniced hood. The porch has sashes and a roof that is hipped to the right, with two extruded stacks on the right return. To the left, there are four bays that include two phases of 20th-century additions.

The entrance front features a late 19th-century ground floor projection for the central three bays. The entrance is located to the left and has a keyed segmental head. To the right, there is a double sash window with a twisted colonnette mullion. Below the cornice, there is a dentilled brick course. The outer bays are set back, and there is a large stair window to the left with Gothic glazing, along with some 16-pane sashes to the right. The end bays project slightly, and there are end stacks on the main block. The 19th-century block to the left has a semi-circular bow, French windows, casements, and dentilled brick eaves.

Inside, the house features a moulded plaster ceiling and a late 19th-century carved chimneypiece with caryatids.
