10, The Croft

House. Likely built in the early 18th century and probably altered in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The house is constructed of rubble stone with red brick detailing; a later brick addition is also present. It has a plain tile roof. Originally a two-cell lobby-entry plan, it now includes a rear outshut. The house is two storeys high with an attic, and has three windows on the first floor. Features include a brick plinth, quoins, quoined surrounds to the openings, and a platt band. The 19th-century windows are segmental-arched on the ground floor, flat-arched above, with chamfered brick sills and small-pane, two-light casement windows. A central boarded door sits beneath a segmental brick arch. A large brick ridge stack is centrally positioned. The rear has an early 20th-century outshut addition, which is not considered to be of particular interest. Each side gable is brick, with a single two-light attic window. A wooden lean-to against the left return is also not of special interest. The interior retains chamfered spine-beams with stepped cyma stops. Original board doors remain, and the right-hand ground-floor room has a brick fireplace with a timber lintel, a mantelshelf and a gun rack. A wooden winder stair rises over the entrance lobby. The roof structure features two collars at the centre, supporting through purlins and pegged rafters.
