Description

Ole Croft is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It is dated to 1728, with a late 18th century extension. The building features painted rendered walls and has a pilastered quoin on the left side. It has a graduated Welsh slate roof and brick chimney stacks. The structure is two storeys high and consists of five bays, with the two bays on the left being part of the extension. There is a 20th century door set in a quoined surround, and sash windows are present in painted stone surrounds. An outbuilding to the right is not of interest.
