Description

Littlecroft and Town Farm is a pair of houses that were originally one house, dating from the 17th century and altered in the 20th century. The buildings have rubble walls, with Littlecroft partly rendered and Town Farm colourwashed. They feature a gable-ended asbestos slate roof and have two axial rubble stacks with drip courses, as well as a similar lateral stack at the rear. The original layout consisted of three rooms with a through-passage: the lower room to the left was heated by the rear lateral stack, the hall was heated by an axial stack backing onto the passage, and the inner room was heated by an axial stack at its lower end. The property was likely divided into two in the 20th century.

The exterior is two storeys high. Littlecroft, on the left, has a one-window front with late 20th-century casements and a part-glazed lean-to porch to the left. Town Farm, on the right, features a three-window front with late 20th-century two-light casements, and the first-floor windows are in half dormers. There is a 19th-century plank door to the left with a chamfered lintel under a gabled door hood. The interior was inaccessible at the time of the survey but is believed to contain old ceiling beams and possibly original fireplaces. The buildings form a group with Staddon House and Cottage.
