    A typo? 

    What's the context? 

    Edit:
    "A crog loft is a loft over the half of a cottage, furthest from the cooking hearth. It was used for sleeping in."

    Is it being used by a slightly poncy surveyor in a newer house to describe a mezzanine or something, or does this actually exist in the one you're talking about?

    In practical terms it means, "This is a crummy little cottage without enough headroom for two proper storeys."
    Access is often by ladder, as in this example:

    (The simple snack bowl of pebbles is also very Welsh; being necessary to get one's vocal chords around certain  place names like "Eglwyswrw" or Rhosllannerchrugog. How thoughtful of the host to provide them with the guide books! ;) )
    You should write the particulars for estate agencies  :D
    How do you know I haven't?
