Croxton Farmhouse

This is a farmhouse, likely dating from around 1600. It is constructed of flint with brick dressings and has a red pantiled roof. The house is two storeys high and originally comprised three bays. The ground floor now has two 19th-century plate glass windows, each with three lights. The first floor has two three-light casement windows and one two-light casement, all set within earlier, wider brick surrounds. A late 19th-century door with lead canopy, supported by wooden brackets, is situated within a wider, chamfered brick opening. A brick plinth runs along the ground floor at sill level, and the end quoins have been rebuilt. The north gable has kneelers and a parapet. There are blocked fire windows, and two stacks – one octagonal and one rectangular with a diamond profile to its east and west faces – all resting on common, moulded brick bases. The south gable has been rebuilt and features three clustered, moulded brick octagonal stacks on common bases, set on an off-ridge alignment. A two-storey, flat-roofed wing at the rear was rebuilt and is contemporary with the front of the house. Ground floor rooms at the north, and the north and south first-floor rooms have chamfered spine and cross beams with quirk and tongue stops.
