Description
Crook Hall is a late 16th-century farmhouse located on Bomish Lane in Goostrey. The building is constructed of red brick in English garden wall bond and features a stone slate roof. It is two storeys high with an attic and consists of five bays, all gabled. There are three bay returns with side gables towards the rear. The facade includes flush stone quoins and narrow Elizabethan bricks, with replaced two-and-three-light flush casements set under elliptical arches. Above the ground floor and first floor windows, there is a continuous narrow brick drip band.
A late 19th-century gabled brick porch has been added, which includes a four-panel door, bargeboards, and a stone slate roof. The facade displays three symmetrical gables, some of which have exposed oak timbers, additional barge boards, and finials. Each of the three bay returns has four blocked window openings, and the north-east side gable features a fully timbered gable with close panelling. The side gables are adorned with barge boards and stacks that have diagonally set flues. At the rear of the building, there is a single blocked window and a 19th-century lean-to addition.
Inside, the entrance features double boarded and studded doors on strap hinges, and there is an inglenook beam along with timber framing in the internal walls. Six-panel oak doors are fitted with "H" hinges and "HL" hinges, and a wide double boarded door on strap hinges leads to the cellar. The interior also includes stop-chamfered beams and a closed string staircase with spiral twisted balusters, a moulded handrail, and ball finials on the square newels. The first floor mainly consists of six-panel oak doors. The roof structure includes trusses with queen posts that are only one door width apart, along with original purlins, a ridge tree, and rafters.
