Description
Crow Trees is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the early 17th century or earlier, with later alterations and additions. It has a gable end facing the road and is constructed of brick with stone dressings, topped by a slate roof featuring a ridge chimneystack and a chimney at the left gable. The building has a three-bay plan with a through-passage located behind the chimneystack. There is a short outshut to the rear of the first bay, along with a modern extension behind this and an addition at the right end, which are not included in the listing.
The house is two storeys tall. The front wall displays lozenge-shaped patterns of headers, with three at the ground floor and eight above. The door is located in the third bay and is covered by a modern gabled canopy. To the left of the door, the first and second bays feature double-chamfered stone mullion windows with hoodmoulds at the ground floor, consisting of three and six lights respectively. To the right of the door is a flush mullion window with three lights, and there are five similar windows on the first floor, all with two lights except for the one in the second bay, which has four. The left gable has a three-light double-chamfered stone mullion window with a hoodmould on each floor, as well as two other windows with four and two lights, and a narrow attic light near the apex. The rear wall contains five windows, three of which have stone mullions.
Inside, there is a full cruck truss incorporated into the partition between the second and third bays, with one blade inscribed with "1689." The interior features an inglenook with a stone heck, an ovolo-moulded bressummer, a salt cupboard, and a blocked fire window. The beams in the second bay are chamfered, while those in the first and third bays are quarter-round moulded. There is an open-well staircase of 17th-century style with barley sugar balusters. The upper floor shows evidence of a former smoke bay.
