Description
Old Crowtrees is a house, probably built in the late 17th century, which was extended and restored in the 20th century. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with a stone slate roof at the front. The building has two storeys and three bays. The windows are mullioned, all rebated and chamfered, except for the right-hand window on the ground floor, which features flat-faced mullions. All windows have three lights, except for the left-hand window on the first floor, which has two lights. A 20th-century gabled stone porch in the middle bay covers a door with plain reveals. To the left, there are 20th-century extensions and conversions that are in keeping with the original style. The right-hand gable has a large projecting stack with offsets. The rear wall features rebated and chamfered mullioned windows, with three lights, three lights, and two lights on the first floor. On the ground floor, there is a three-light window with restored mullions. To the right, two three-light windows are stacked one above the other to illuminate the stairway. Between the ground-floor windows, there is a blocked one-light window and a blocked doorway. Inside, the right-hand room includes a tall chamfered arched fireplace. The dog-leg stair has a closed string and turned balusters.
