Croft Cottage

Croft Cottage is a house built around 1855, possibly designed by George Gilbert Scott. It features coursed and squared limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and a shaped clay tile roof that has plain tile bands and painted rustic barge boards. The cottage has integral end stacks made of coursed and squared rubble. It showcases early vernacular revival and Swiss Cottage style, consisting of a two-room main range and a rear wing. The building is one storey with an attic and has two windows; the ground floor right window has two cross lights, while the left window has three cross lights. There is a central door, and gabled attic dormers that are corbelled out from below the coves level, each containing two-light cross casements. There are low lean-to extensions on both the left and right sides, each with a door, and the left extension features a corrugated roof. Croft Cottage is part of the picturesque Alpine estate village created by Scott.
