Description
Colcroft is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-18th century, also shown on the Ordnance Survey map as Kale Croft. The main house features coursed herringbone-tooled sandstone, while the downhouse is constructed from coursed rubble sandstone. It has Welsh slate roofs with stone ridges, coping, and kneelers, along with brick and rendered stacks. The layout follows a through-passage plan, with the road front presenting one and a half storeys and two bays, while the lower downhouse has one wide bay.
The downhouse includes a half-glazed passage door beneath a modern flat hood and a small boarded opening under the eaves. To the left, the dairy slightly projects and features a two-light stone-mullioned window with lattice casements and iron bars. The center bay contains a stair window, and to the right, there is a small two-light window under the eaves. The stone coping and block kneeler on the right are accompanied by rendered and brick end chimneys. The rear elevation displays a fire window on the left, but other windows have been replaced with modern casements in lengthened openings of the original mullioned windows.
Inside, the property retains a beck partition, although the fireplace has been rebuilt. The parlour is located in front of the dairy and features original boarded doors.
