Crowtrees Farmhouse

Crowtrees Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 15th century, which was encased in the late 17th century and again in 1712, with restoration around 1980. The building features a cruck frame, with the front encased in coursed squared stone and the rear displaying box timber framing with stone dressings. It has a 20th-century concrete tile roof, complete with concrete coped gables on plain kneelers, brick gable stacks, and a rebuilt brick ridge stack.

The farmhouse is two storeys high with four bays and follows a lobby entrance plan. The south front, made of stone, has an off-centre quoined doorcase with a lintel inscribed 'SM 1712' and a 20th-century glazed door. There is a four-light recessed and chamfered mullion window to the east, with a similar two-light window next to it, and two 20th-century reconstituted stone mullion windows to the west, one with two lights and the other with three lights. Above, there are four two-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows, two of which are 20th-century replacements.

The east gable wall features two two-light ground floor mullion windows and a three-light mullion window above, complete with a drip mould. The rear elevation displays eleven panels of timber framing and 20th-century windows. Inside, the farmhouse contains three full cruck trusses with cambered ties, with the central truss featuring large arched braces to the collar and a smoke blackened soffit, carbon dated to around 1450. There is a substantial timber stud partition on the ground floor of the eastern truss, and a large inglenook in the central room, which has a chamfered bressummer and a bracketed stone fireplace with a brick flue, likely inserted in 1712.
