Description
Highcroft House is a late 18th-century house, extended in 1907 by Clough Williams Ellis. It is constructed of squared and coursed limestone with ashlar quoins and dressings, with a gabled and half-hipped Welsh slate roof. Brick stacks are on the left end and the rear lateral side. The house has an L-shaped plan with a rear right wing.
The main block is in a late Georgian style, with three storeys and a three-window front. A stone Tuscan porch provides access to a six-panelled door with an overlight. The windows are predominantly eight-pane sashes, with a six-pane sash in the centre and an early 20th-century tripartite sash to the left of the porch. The rear service wing is of similar materials and has three-light leaded casements. A 20th-century conservatory is attached to the right.
The extension to the left, designed by Clough Williams Ellis in 1907, is in a Wrenaissance style. It is a two-storey, two-window range with leaded cross windows, a round-arched doorway, a moulded cornice, and a hipped roof topped by an ogee-domed bell cupola.
The interior of the original house features a dog-leg staircase with stick balusters, panelled doors, boxed beams, and a reeded stone fireplace on the first floor. The service wing has stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. The 1907 range incorporates reset stained-glass panels and a line doorway with a cherub's head set over a shouldered architrave in a ground-floor room.
