Pine Croft

Pine Croft is a house, originally a farmhouse and later a bakery, dating to the mid-16th century with improvements made in the 17th century. It was thoroughly refurbished around 1970. The house is constructed of plastered stone rubble with cob wall tops, and features stone rubble stacks, one disused and topped with 20th-century brick, and thatch to the main block with interlocking tiles to the rebuilt service wing.

Originally a 3-room-and-through-passage plan house facing north-east, only the hall and inner room survive from the original layout. The former kitchen, an inner room, is at the right end and has a disused projecting stack. The hall has an axial stack backing onto the site of the former passage. The passage and the service room to the left were rebuilt around 1970 and are set back from the main front. The inner room was originally floored, and the hall fireplace is original. The hall was likely open to the roof but was floored in the late 16th or early 17th century. The date of the inner room fireplace is probably 17th century; the room was used as a baker's shop in the 19th century.

The house is two storeys high, with an irregular front facade to the main block, featuring three ground floor and two first floor windows. All windows are 20th-century casements with glazing bars, blocking 18th or 19th-century doorways at the centre and right. The current front doorway is through a 20th-century porch immediately to the left of the main block, brought forward from the rebuilt section and flush with the front, in the position of the former passage front doorway. The main roof is half-hipped to the right and gable-ended to the left; the rebuilt service wing has similar windows, a secondary doorway, and is gable-ended.

Inside, the oak doorframe from the former passage to the hall has a replacement cranked head. The hall fireplace has been relined in the 20th century but retains its original soffit-chamfered oak lintel. The hall has a 6-panel intersecting beam ceiling with deep hollow-chamfered soffits. An oak plank-and-muntin screen is at the upper end of the hall. The axial beam in the inner room has plain soffit chamfers, matching the finish of the partially-blocked fireplace's lintel. A small shoulder-headed oak doorframe, from the former passage chamber to the hall chamber, is on the first floor. The 3-bay roof of the main block is supported by clean side-pegged jointed cruck trusses.
