Description
Crown House is a 17th-century house, partly remodelled in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone with quoins, and has a Welsh slate roof with a brick ridge and front gable end stacks. Stone coped gables face outwards. The front elevation features two 2-light casement windows in earlier stone surrounds, and a single light in the attic. There is an ornamental bargeboard to the gable. Doors are located on the right side of the building and are now rendered. Inside, there are chamfered beams and two inglenooks. The building was formerly the Crown Inn. Remodelling occurred after a large-scale village fire.
