Description

Todcrofts and adjoining barns are a farmhouse and barns that likely date from the late 17th century, with the barns inscribed and dated over a vent as 1832. The building features painted rendered walls set on an irregular stone plinth, and it has graduated greenslate roofs with 19th-century stone chimney stacks. The barns are constructed from mixed limestone rubble with red sandstone flush quoins. The structure is two storeys high and consists of six bays, with adjoining higher L-shaped barns that create an overall U-shape.

The farmhouse includes a six-panel top-glazed door located in a round-arched porch supported by fluted pilasters, complete with a decorative keystone. The ground floor has sash windows beneath plain cornices, while the upper floor features sash windows, some of which have glazing bars, all set in original painted stone surrounds. The barn has a large segmental cart entrance, additional plank doors, and loft doorways, along with slit vents.
