Description
The Croft is a townhouse built in the early 19th century, featuring a late 19th-century bay window and possibly a rear range from the 16th century. It is constructed of red brick with flared headers in Flemish bond, although the roof and chimney stacks are not visible. The building is three stories tall and has a single-window range. To the right, there is a four-panel part-glazed door, while to the left, the late 19th-century bay window includes horned sashes. The first and second floors have horned tripartite sashes with flat brick arches above them, and there is a plain parapet at the top. Inside, a cruck truss can be found in the rear range.
