Description
No. 5 Croft Cottages is a cottage that was formerly used as a shop, dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. It features a timber-framed structure that is rendered, with a thatched roof adorned with a decorated ridge on the main range, while the former shop has a clay pantile roof. The building is part one and a half storeys and part one storey with an attic. It has two eyebrow dormers with two-light single-bar casement windows, an old three-light single-bar casement window on the ground floor, and a small single-light window next to the plank door. There are remnants of pargetting in the apex of the right-hand gable. The former shop has a shallow-pitched roof, a small external chimney stack with a shaft in rat-trap bond, two gable end windows, and one three-light two-bar casement window on the front. The rear features various lean-to additions. The interior has a basic two-cell plan, which was later extended into the shop area. The timbering is rough and late in style, with a 20th-century replacement ceiling in the center room. The roof includes clasped side, purlins, and a ridge piece.
