Description
Longcroft Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century, with an early 19th-century extension. The building features cement rendered walls with painted flush quoins and a graduated slate roof, complemented by brick chimney stacks. It stands two storeys high and has three bays, along with a two-storey, three-bay extension that has a lower roof line. The main entrance includes a panelled door with a radial fanlight set within an open-pedimented doorcase. The windows are 2-pane sashes framed in painted stone surrounds, and the extension displays similar architectural details.
