Crookham Cottage

Crookham Cottage, also known as No. 5 (The Coach House), is a house that was formerly three cottages, dating from the mid to late 17th century and around 1830. The building is constructed of random rubble with dressings, featuring Welsh slate and pantile roofs, and is divided into two sections.

The older section on the left is L-shaped, single storey with attics, and has four bays. It includes a 20th-century gabled stone porch with a re-used early 19th-century half-glazed door, flanked by mid-19th-century canted bay windows. The projecting left bay features two pointed-arched windows with intersecting glazing bars on the right return. The roof is very steeply pitched, formerly thatched, and has reverse-stepped gables, with 19th-century end and ridge stacks on older bases.

The cross-gabled section to the right, built around 1830, is also single storey and consists of one bay. It has narrow angle pilaster strips and a pointed-arched window with intersecting glazing bars set in a chamfered surround.

Inside the older section, there are 2- and 6-panel doors, and a staircase from around 1810 with slender turned balusters. The upper-cruck roof features eight bays, a ridge piece, and one level of purlins.

Attached to the left are single-storey buildings that are not of special interest.
