Description
Water Croft is a house dating from the 17th century, with 20th-century extensions. It features a timber frame with diagonal braces and whitewashed brick infill, topped with a thatched roof and a brick stack on the south gable. The building is 1½ storeys high and consists of two bays, with a gabled front facing the street. The gable end has paired barred wooden casements on both floors. On the northwest side, there is a 20th-century window to the left, an entryway with a paired barred casement in a glazed porch, and a 20th-century extension finished in whitewashed render with a pantile roof that projects from the second bay. The first floor includes a 3-light barred casement set in the thatch.
