Description
The Old Croft is a house dating from the 17th century that has been altered and extended over time. It features a timber frame that is cased in 18th century red brick, with an old tile roof that is nipped on the left side. A chimney is located to the left of the center, opposite the door. The house is two storeys high and has a modern gabled porch. On the ground floor, there are two modern three-light casement windows, while the first floor has three casements with transoms at wall plate level, with the upper parts forming gabled dormers. The windows retain old leaded glazing. There are 18th century and 20th century extensions at the rear, with the latter continuing under a hipped roof. The house has projecting chimney stacks at each end. Inside, there are inglenook fireplaces and exposed timber framing.
