Description

Croyle House is a substantial detached house, now divided into two dwellings, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of stucco, designed to resemble ashlar, with hipped roofs covered in asphalted slate. The house follows a rectangular central staircase plan, with two principal rooms on either side of a front entrance hall, heated by axial stacks. Service rooms are located to the rear.

The symmetrical front elevation features a three-window range. The first floor has two-light casement windows, the central window being narrower, but of equal height to the others, each with three panes and margin panes. The ground floor has a two-light French window on either side of a central porch, each with four panes and margin panes. The porch has an open pediment, a broken entablature, two Tuscan columns and pilasters, and contains a panelled door with a semi-circular fanlight featuring radiating glazing bars and margin panes. A moulded gutter box is present, incorporating lions' masks. A low wall extends to the right of the front, terminating in a pilaster topped with a stone ball. A two-light casement window was inserted into the wall in the late 20th century. Other windows are either original 19th-century casements or late 20th-century replacements.
