Description
The Croft is a late 18th-century house. It has rendered walls with raised red sandstone quoins and dressings, and a graduated slate roof with yellow brick chimney stacks. The house is two stories high and three bays wide, with a quoined and keyed round-headed entrance surround containing a six-panel door and a radial fanlight. Sash windows with glazing bars have plain stone surrounds. Single-storey, one-bay flanking wings have hipped slate roofs. Entrances to these wings are set within flat-headed quoined surrounds, and they also feature sash windows with glazing bars.
