Description
CROWTON C.P. KINGSLEY ROAD SJ 57 SE (South Side) 4/2 Nos. 1, 2 and 3 Stone Houses (formerly listed as the Stone Houses) 10/3/1953 II
Formerly farmhouse, now 3 houses: dated 1686 with some C20 alterations and additions. Ashlar buff Manley sandstone, Welsh slate roof, stone ridge, brick ridge chimney and similar on crosswing. H-shaped lobby-entry plan. 2-storey, 4-bay front. Chamfered plinth, cyma-moulded band at 1st floor. End-bays project forward under stone-coped and kneelered gables. Inserted doorways and 4-light chamfered stone mullioned windows below, 4-light windows with round-headed lights above, under flat cyma-moulded hoods. In central 2 bays, the band rises above the original doorway with a segmental arch and an inscribed lintel reading T T with a lozenge 1686 motif. 5-light chamfered stone mullioned window to the left and 4-light wooden casement above. Fenestration survives on remaining sides but some mullions lost. Small C20 additions to right and rear. Interior: No. 3 has a quarter-round moulded ceiling beam. Remainder not inspected but no features reported. A substantial house, but very conservative for its date in plan and detailing.
