Many fine period features have been retained including extensive exposed timbers, wooden internal doors and attractive inglenook fireplace in the sitting room.

From the bedroom, sliding doors open onto an attractive and spacious balcony having the benefit of a lift, with glazed balustrade and lovely views.

To the first floor are two double bedrooms, from the master bedroom steps lead down to the en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom are accessed from the second floor landing.

The Old Croft enjoys an open aspect with farmland adjoining. The garden has been designed with gravelled terracing and deep flower borders with an abundance of seasonal flowers, shrubs and trees. For the keen gardener there is a vegetable area, poly tunnel and a potting shed.
