Description
Weycroft is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the mid-20th century. It is built of red brick in Flemish bond and features an old tile gabled roof. The house has a rectangular plan and is two storeys high.
On the exterior, there is one ridge chimney and a large weathered chimney projecting from each gable end. Each chimney has two shafts with corniced heads, set diagonally on the base. The windows are 20th-century sash windows with pointed arched glazing bars. The entrance front faces south and is irregular, featuring four bay windows. There is a 20th-century prostyle porch in the third bay from the left, supported by four hexagonal wooden columns that hold up a lead ogee hood with a scalloped edge. A Venetian window is located in the fourth bay on the first floor, breaking into the weatherboarded gable. The interior has not been inspected.
