Description
Croft House is a house that likely dates from the late 18th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble with quoins and features a graduated slate roof with a stone ridge. The building has a symmetrical design, standing two storeys high with three bays. The central entrance consists of a part-glazed door, flanked by 16-pane sash windows on either side and three additional sash windows above. All openings have stone surrounds. There are stone chimneys at each end of the house. A modern corrugated-iron garage attached to the north end is not of interest.
