Description

Lincroft House, dating from around 1700, is a building of group value consisting of Lavender Cottage and an adjacent barn. The main block is constructed of coursed rubble with a concrete tile roof, although the rear retains stone tiles. The street-facing front was altered in the mid-19th century and now features two randomly placed, plain sash windows, one being paired. A modern gabled porch obscures what was originally a moulded doorway with a panelled door. The property has ashlar stacks topped with moulded caps. Coped gables are present, with a ball finial on the south-west gable and mullion windows on this elevation. The north-east front is stone-roofed and features stone mullion and transom windows. A continuous drip mould runs above the ground floor windows, returning as far as the porch. The building has an L-shaped layout to the rear, incorporating a Tudor-arch doorway within a rear extension and a hipped-roof stair projection. Lavender Cottage has a north-west extension that links it with Rhoslynletty. A tall rubble wall connects Lavender Cottage to the barn, which is included for group value. The barn is constructed of rubble with a stone tile roof and has a rectangular plan with three bays. Wide draught doors were previously located on the south side but are now blocked. A modern west extension to the barn is not considered historically significant.
