Croft House and Sunny Croft, The Street, are a pair of houses built in the late 18th century and extended on both sides. Constructed of coursed rubble stone under a stone slate roof. Listed, for group value, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1121033 Bowes is a village in County Durham, some 14 miles northwest of Richmond and about 18½ miles due west of Darlington. Set on the north bank of the River Greta, the village was, until by-passed, astride the A66 trunk road.
