Description
Crowtrees Farmhouse, dating from the late 17th century and altered around 1800, is constructed from sandstone rubble and features a tile roof. It has a T-plan layout with two storeys and an attic, comprising two bays. The windows are framed with plain stone surrounds and a central flat-faced mullion, although they now have modern frames with glazing bars. The entrance door, located between the bays, also has a plain stone surround, and above it is the surround of a blocked mullioned window. Straight joints indicate where earlier 17th-century windows have been removed. The house has gable chimneys, with the right-hand chimney featuring a cap supported by wooden corbels. Each side of this projecting cap has a one-light chamfered attic window, one of which is now blocked. The north wall of the rear wing includes two chamfered window surrounds on the first floor. At the angle with the front range, there is a lean-to porch with a cyma-moulded door surround, and above it is a plaque inscribed 'RR 1792', which has been re-set from a farm building.
Adjoining the farmhouse to the left is a barn that has a stone slate roof and a wide entrance with an external sliding door. Above this entrance is a pitching hole with plain reveals, and to the left is a modern ground-floor door with a plain reveal. The front wall of the barn also features breathers and putlog holes.
