Croft Farmhouse

Croft Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century or early 17th century. It is constructed of rubble with slate roofs, although one section to the left has a corrugated iron roof. The building features a cross-passage or late hall house design with a lateral stack in the principal center room. There is a two-storey porch, and to the left of this, a bay that was rebuilt in the late 19th century. The main roof was also rebuilt and has a louvred pitch from the 19th century.

The farmhouse has two storeys and features a 1:1:3 window arrangement. To the left of the porch, there are 12-pane sash windows on each level and a 2-light casement, all set under brick arches. The porch itself has a single glazing-bar light beneath a wider dripstone, leading to an arched opening with a wide plank inner door. To the right, there are various windows including 3-light casements, a 12-pane sash, a 4-pane sash, and a single light. The building has small stacks on each gable and a large external stack at the center back.

The farmhouse is set into the bank, with part of the back wall against the soil. The right gable is plain, while the left gable features an 8-pane sash window. A raised gable section between the two parts shows the line of the original roof pitch. The interior was only partially inspected, revealing a stone flagged cross passage and a step down to the kitchen on the left. The right center room has a very large granite flush lintel fireplace, rough beams, and a door leading to the staircase at the back right. The roof structure was not inspected but is reputed to be a 19th-century replacement. This farmhouse was clearly a major establishment, located on tracks that are no longer in use, and has become quite isolated.
