A croft of Arable land, having House attached and garden. O.M.O [Ordnance Mapping Office]
Croft is the original and leading idea here - houses is adjunct - accidental - the land gives name the the houses - or they adopt the name of the land on which they are built - the houses are not the place, the object named is the Croft and therefore it Should be in two words.
