Croft Farmhouse And Attached Outbuildings

Croft Farmhouse and attached outbuildings consist of two farm cottages that have been converted into a farmhouse, dating from the early to mid-18th century, with later alterations. The structure is built from rubble and features stone slate roofs. It is two storeys high, with a first-floor arrangement of openings in a 1:2:1 pattern, and includes a two-storey rear outshut.

The farmhouse is centrally located within the range, featuring a central part-glazed door set in a chamfered ashlar surround with impost blocks. To the right of the door is a side-sliding sash window with a chamfered lintel, which may have originally been a doorway. On both the left and right sides, there are 6-pane windows in chamfered surrounds, with fixed-lights on the ground floor and sashes on the first floor. The ends of the building have ashlar stacks.

To the left of the farmhouse is an outbuilding with ashlar surrounds and impost blocks framing a doorway on each floor, which once had steps leading up to the first floor. To the right is a lower outbuilding, featuring a quoined surround to its doorway and a small first-floor window. The overall structure has slab coping at the ends.

At the rear, the outshut has outer bays with chamfered ashlar window surrounds, and in the centre, there are two round-arched chamfered ashlar landing windows. The left return of the outbuilding has a lower roof slope but maintains the same pitch as the existing roof.

Inside, the ground-floor room to the left contains an 18th-century ashlar fireplace with a corniced mantelshelf supported by cyma reversa corbels, along with stop-chamfered beams. Behind this room is the dairy, which features stone shelves. There are also two stone dogleg staircases within the building.
