Croft Cottage, Croft House, Croft View And Gate Piers

Croft Cottage, Croft House, Croft View and gate piers form a complex of buildings under a single roof, dating back to 1720. The structure is built of rendered rubble with a stone slate roof. Originally, the front presented a symmetrical composition of 1:5:1 bays. Croft House features a central doorway with a bolection moulded architrave, and a fanlight above a part-boarded, part-glazed door. The first four bays on this frontage have sash windows set within hollow-moulded architraves. Bays 5 has blocked fire windows on both floors, matching the height of the other windows but narrower, with imitation sash frames painted on. To the left of Croft House is Croft Cottage, featuring one bay of windows matching the style and a six-panel door in an ashlar surround. To the right is Croft View, with a matching bay of windows and a four-panel door in an ashlar surround, bearing the name lettered on the lintel. The building has overall copings and stacks with classical cornices positioned between bays 1 and 2, bays 3 and 4, and a double stack between bays 6 and 7. A further architectural element is an oculus with an ashlar keyed surround in the left return gable. Two gate piers, constructed of rusticated ashlar with cornices and capping, stand just outside the doorway of Croft House, integrated within a low rubble wall.
