Croft House And Adjoining Barns

Croft House and adjoining barns. Dated 1666 (likely Hugh Peacock) with alterations in 1743. The house is a farmhouse with barns attached, forming an overall L-shape. The roughcast walls are partly whitewashed and sit on large projecting plinth stones. The roof is graduated greenslate with yellow brick chimney stacks. The barns are constructed of mixed slate and cobble rubble under a graduated greenslate roof, some of which has been replaced with asbestos. The house has two storeys and three bays. A plank door is located on the right-hand side, set within a chamfered surround under a Tudor arch, with the date and inscription above. A plank door and sash windows are also present; the windows between the doors are double-hung, all set in painted 18th-century surrounds. The barn has a plank door in a chamfered surround. The barn extension has a central cart entrance with a stone shippon on the right and plank doors on the left, one of which is in a chamfered surround. A 20th-century extension to the rear of the barn extension is not of particular interest.
