Description
Croft House is a house from the mid-18th century, with parts dating back to 1621 and some 19th-century alterations. It is constructed of coursed rubble and has a graduated stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and three bays, with quoins at the corners.
The second bay on the right features a 20th-century board door set in a plain stone surround, supported by consoles and topped with a cornice and blocking piece. The windows throughout the house have flat-faced mullions, with three, two, and three lights on the ground floor and two lights on the first floor, all fitted with 20th-century casements.
There is a blocked doorway or a reset lintel with relief lettering in two recessed panels that reads "1621" and "IE TE" in the first bay on the right. The house also features shaped kneelers, gable copings, an end stack on the right, and paired ridge stacks between the first and second bays.
