The hamlet is spread out along Pound Lane and has a number of Victorian cottages associated with the local farms or coal mines [2] working as early as 1838, the last closing in 1919. [3]

Nearby is the hamlet of Arscott Villa, which adjoins Annscroft.

There is an 18-hole golf course at Arscott, which opened in 1992 and is the home of the Arscott Golf Club. [4]
