Description
The Croft is a detached house with a carriage house, primarily built in the 19th century but incorporating some work from the 17th or 18th century. It is constructed of limestone ashlar, which is coursed and squared on the carriage house, and has a concrete tile roof. The main block is lofty and features a symmetrical central unit with an additional bay on the left and a large rear wing. To the right, there is a lower, set-back carriage house.
The main block has two storeys and an attic, with a total of three windows on the ground floor. This includes a 20th-century square oriel window with a lead tent-hood, a small two-light cusped lancet window, and two-light recessed chamfer stone mullioned casements flanking a central glazed 20th-century door. These three windows are set beneath a continuous stepped hood-mould. On the first floor, there are a two-light and two three-light mullioned casements, each with stopped hood-moulds.
The carriage house has two storeys and four windows. On the ground floor, there are two six-pane sash windows flanking a 19th-century part-glazed door in a studded surround, along with a wide elliptical arch with a keystone that contains a pair of plank doors on strap hinges. The first floor features four two-light chamfer-mullion casements with stopped hood-moulds. The interior has not been inspected.
