Description

The Croft is a former farmhouse that has been converted into two dwellings. It dates from the 17th century and features a timber-framed structure with plastering and a pantiled roof. The building is 1 and a half storeys high and has a three-cell layout. It includes various metal-framed casement windows from the mid-20th century, two gabled dormers, and two doorways: one in the center with a 20th-century panelled door and another to the right with a 19th-century panelled door set in a contemporary wooden gabled porch. There is an internal stack, and the right-hand cottage has plain studding. The service room contains substantial square joists, while chamfered joists are set flat in the hall. The interior of the left-hand cottage has not been examined.

Local climate

The Croft sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 90% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 67% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
