The Croft

The Croft is a house that was later divided into three dwellings. It dates from the early to mid 17th century and has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame with roughcast exterior and a steeply pitched machine-tiled roof. It has a small four-bay, three-cell cross passage plan and stands two storeys high with an attic. The original entrance, located to the left of the centre, is now blocked, and there is a boarded door leading into the parlour. The windows include two and three-light casements, some of which have glazing bars, and the eaves are boxed. There is an axial ridge stack positioned to the right of centre between the hall and parlour. The right gable end has pentice boards and an attic casement. At the rear, there is a lean-to outshut on the right side, and a 20th-century one-storey addition is located to the left. Inside, the hall and parlour feature stop-chamfered axial binding beams, joists, and fireplace bressumers. There is a reused 16th-century roll and hollow moulded beam above the hall fireplace, and a five-light diamond mullioned window opening in the service bay. The roof structure includes collars and clasp purlins.
