Description

Dyers Croft is a house built in 1938-1939 in the Arts and Crafts style, reminiscent of the work of architect Baillie Scott. It features painted textured brickwork, tile hanging, and a thatched roof with two brick chimney stacks. The property is designed to maximize the south-facing garden front, similar to an Edwardian 'Butterfly' house.

The house has two storeys and five windows, with oak windows that include leaded lights. The north or entrance front has a half-hipped gable on the right side, with tile hanging on the upper floors and painted brick on the lower floor. The first floor showcases a tall five-light oak mullioned window, while the ground floor has shorter five-light mullioned windows. The gable overhangs on deep wooden brackets. To the left of the gable, there is a two-light oak mullioned window and a four-centred arched wooden doorcase with a studded oak door and decorative large hinges.

A prominent feature of the north front is a projecting semi-circular two-storey staircase tower, which includes an eight-light mullioned window with leaded lights and stone cills, with the two centre lights being taller. To the left of this tower is an eyebrow dormer and a mullioned window on the ground floor.

The south front has a painted brick ground floor and a right side gable. Three of the first-floor bays are tile hung, with a recess between the first and third bay from the left that features brackets and a wooden balcony. The first floor has two-light mullioned windows, and below, there is a French window. Other windows include four or five-light mullioned windows on the first floor and four or five-light mullioned and transomed casements on the ground floor. The gable has two two-light mullioned windows on the ground floor. Although the interior has not been seen, sales particulars mention oak joinery and marble fittings of the period.
