Description
Croft House is a detached house located on Gloucester Street in Painswick, dating from the early to mid 19th century. The front is made of limestone ashlar, with squared coursed returns and a hipped slate roof, featuring brick end stacks. The house has a symmetrical main block, a gabled parallel rear block, and a single-storey porch that extends to the pavement edge, positioning the house end-on to the road.
The south front, facing Churchill Way, is two storeys high with three windows, all of which are margin-bar paned sashes. The ground floor has a 20-pane window flanking a central door, while the first floor features a 12-pane window flanked by two 12-pane windows with margins. A continuous moulded eaves cornice runs along the top. The central entrance consists of a part-glazed panelled door with a fanlight, set within an Ionic portico that has a flat entablature.
To the right, there is a wing with an arched opening that returns and slopes down towards the road front, featuring a part-glazed door framed by an incised pilaster and an arch with a keystone surround. This wing is connected to the main building by a lean-to slate roof. The main building includes a 12-pane sash window, while the back wing, which has gable stacks, appears to be of the same period as the rest of the house and is two and a half storeys tall.
