Description

Old Crib is a farmhouse with an attached barn, dating from the mid to late 18th century and consisting of two separate builds. The structure is made of coursed dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. The house has a lobby-entry plan and stands two storeys tall with three bays. It has quoins on the right side. A 20th-century gabled porch covers the doorway, which is flanked by four-light flat-faced mullion windows on each floor. To the far right, there is a board door set in a plain stone surround with a shaped kneeler to the right. A corniced ridge stack is present on the roof.

The barn is attached to the left of the house and is slightly set back, consisting of two bays with a 19th-century addition on the left end. It also has quoins on the right. On the left side, there is a round-arched cart entry with imposts, voussoirs, a raised keystone, and a mistal door to the left. To the right, there is a plain stone surround doorway next to a two-light window (with one light blocked, previously a four-light window) and a four-light window above. This bay is now part of the house. At the rear, the house has a blocked door to the left, a two-light window on the ground floor, and a two-light window (with the mullion removed) and a three-light window above. An outshut was added to the barn around 1980, but it is not of special interest.
