Description
Church Croft is a vicarage, dating to 1853/4 and designed by G.E. Street. It has been converted into a house and is located within West Challow Orchard Gardens. The building is constructed of English bond red brick with a Welsh slate roof and brick stacks. It follows a T-shaped plan and is executed in the Gothic Revival style. The two-storey facade has a four-window range. A pointed, chamfered hood mould sits above the doorway, which has a plank door with original fittings. To the left of the door is a chamfered segmental arch over a four-light, chamfered wood-mullioned cross window, a two-light casement, three stepped stair-lights above the door, and a gabled dormer over two paired sashes. The right gable wall features a pointed, chamfered arch over three narrow, segmental-headed sashes, situated above four narrow sashes with shouldered heads. A chamfered plinth and storey courses are present. The roof is gabled and half-hipped, with an M-shaped section to the left; gable end, lateral, and internal stacks, all featuring tumbled-in brickwork. Original interior features include plank and panelled doors and shutters, fireplaces, and stairs with chamfered balusters.
