Haycroft

Haycroft is a former chapel or priest's house that has been converted into a small detached house. It dates from the 14th century, with an 18th-century addition at the upper end, a further 19th-century addition, and a 20th-century wing at the back. The building is constructed of coursed, squared, and random rubble limestone, with ashlar dressings and a stone slate roof. It is two stories high with an attic and features a cross-passage that was inserted in the early 16th century. The single-room, two-story 18th-century addition created two dwellings.

The front of the building has a variety of window placements. There is a large doorway with a three-centred arched head, hood moulding, and mutilated labels, which has been reduced in size to accommodate a smaller opening with a plank door and timber lintel. To the left of the doorway is a two-light recessed chamfered mullioned window, and above it is a trefoil-headed lancet. There is a noticeable break in the masonry to the right of the doorway, where a timber casement with a timber lintel is found on each floor, alongside a blocked doorway to the left with an embedded timber lintel. The roof features two rebuilt ashlar chimneys mounted on the ridge.

The lower end of the building has a parapet gable with a mutilated saddle and two offset buttresses, along with a blocked trefoil-headed lancet off-center on the upper floor. At the back, a projecting single-storey wing mostly obscures a matching three-centred arched doorway, which is now primarily internal. There is an ogee-headed lancet to the right of the wing and a cinquefoil-headed lancet on the upper floor, with a very small trefoil-headed lancet to the left of the wing, which is presumably reset. The back of the 18th-century addition has single-window fenestration similar to the front, with pantiles on part of the reverse slope. The wing features metal casements with timber lintels.

Inside, there is a stone spiral staircase beside a central fireplace, and a single arched-braced raised cruck in the roof of the older part, which has slots for missing windbraces. This building may have originally served as the chantry chapel founded by Thomas Berkeley, lord of the manor, in 1343, before it became a dwelling house by the early 16th century.
