Description
Old Crown House is an early 17th-century farmhouse, formerly an inn, and now a house. It was originally a hall house of two framed bays with a single-bay cross-wing set at right angles to the rear. A 19th-century brick addition was built to the right of the hall, completing a present T-shaped plan.
The house has timber framing on a brick plinth, with painted brick infill and plain tile roofs. The framing consists of rectangular panels, three from sill to wall plate, with short straight tension braces and V-struts from the collar to the left gable end. There are 20th-century casements with latticed and leaded glass, three to the left and one to the right of a contemporary nail-studded door. A red brick ridge stack is located immediately to the right of the door, having previously been at the gable end. A Salop Fire Insurance plate numbered 2311 is above the door, and a mid-19th-century cast-iron pump is attached to the back wall.
The interior retains exposed timber framing, including a chamfered spine beam with ogee stops in the main ground-floor room. The hall range has a Queen-strut roof in two bays.
