Long Croft

Last updated

Long Croft is a historic house in Cowling, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

The building was constructed in about 1700 as a farmhouse. [1] The farmhouse has a parlour cross-wing, a common feature further south, but in Craven only Long Croft and Halton West Auld Hall possess one. [2] The building has an attached barn which is at least as old and may be earlier, although it has no readily-dated features. It was little altered over the following centuries, and due to this was Grade II* listed in 1984. [1]

The farmhouse and barn are built of stone with quoins and a stone slate roof. The house has two storeys and attics, three bays, and a gabled cross-wing projecting at the rear. In the centre is a two-storey porch, the upper storey jettied over a moulded string course. It contains a doorway with a chamfered surround, and above it is a double-chamfered window with five stepped lights and a hood mould. The other windows are chamfered with mullions. Inside, there is a baffle entry, to the side of a large fireplace, and there is a similar fireplace in the kitchen. There is a spiral staircase built of stone, and repaired in places with slate. The roof has a king post truss, while the roof in the barn is queen post. [1] [3]
