Description
Horsecroft Farmhouse is a mid-18th century farmhouse built of pebbledashed brick, featuring a pantiled roof with coped verges and gable end brick stacks. The building is arranged in an L-plan and is two storeys high with a three-window south front. A gabled central porch leads to a ledged inner door framed in beaded architrave. To the left of the porch is a three-light beaded mullioned casement, while to the right are a pair of 19th-century sash windows. On the first floor, there are three-light beaded mullioned casements on either side of a central two-light mullioned casement, with an illegible datestone in the middle. The right side of the building features a four-pane sash window on the ground floor and a small sash window in the attic. The left side has a single casement window on the ground floor and a two-storey outshut with casements. At the rear, there is a two-storey wing dated 1863 and a covered yard in the center. Inside, the farmhouse retains planked doors on the first floor and 19th-century joinery on the ground floor.
