Description
Longcroft is a farmhouse, likely built in the late 18th century, with a matching extension from the early 20th century. It is constructed from local stone that is squared and randomly coursed, featuring Ham stone dressings. The roof is plain clay tiles over two bottom courses of stone slates, with coped gables and stone chimney stacks.
The original part of the farmhouse, located on the left (west), is two stories high with five bays. It has two-light windows that are framed with stone architraves and plain mullions, and the windows are leaded with rectangular panes. The later extension closely resembles the original and has four bays, featuring a plain boarded and studded entrance door in a stout frame, located in the second bay and sheltered by a simple timber hood supported by brackets. The window surrounds in the extension do not have the same detailing as those in the earlier section. To the left of the original part, there is a lower extension, likely from the early 20th century, which includes a two-light window at ground floor level. The interior of the building has not been seen. Various farm buildings from the late 19th century are present on the property but are not included in the listing.
