Croydon House

Croydon House is a house dating from around 1700, which had its roof replaced in the 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with a string course and a dentil-moulded cornice that is painted with designs. The roof is made of local slate and is hipped at the wing, with a brick stack on the left gable end. The building is L-shaped and may have originally been part of a larger U-shaped structure that was either destroyed by fire or left unfinished.

The house has two storeys and features three bays on one side and two on the other. All the windows are wooden cruciform designs with leading, and there are blind openings at the re-entrant angle of the wing. The entrance is located at the left end bay, which has a six-panel double door with moulded surrounds. Above the door, the space is boarded over, and a shellhood porch was present until the mid-20th century. To the left, there is a lean-to roof over a single-storey bay that contains 20th-century French windows. The lack of a visible butt joint suggests that the building may have extended to the left at one time, contributing to its current unbalanced appearance.

Inside, there is a dog-leg stair that rises to the attic, featuring a moulded handrail, alternate twisted balusters, and ball finials on the newels, along with a renewed dado. The salon, which occupies the three left bays, has a moulded semicircular arched head with a keystone, and is adorned with 18th-century panelling and bolection-moulded architraves around square-headed doorways flanking the left gable end fireplace opening, which also has a keystone. The first floor retains divisions of 18th-century panelling and a similar main arched opening. The painted decoration on the cornice is said to replicate earlier painted designs.
