Cruckmeole House

Cruckmeole House is a house dating from the early 17th century, which was extensively remodelled in the late 18th century with later additions and alterations. The house is primarily constructed of red brick, concealing an earlier timber frame, with plain tile and slate roofs, hipped to the front. The original house was in an L-plan shape, with a central chimney stack located at the junction between the hall and cross-wing. This has been extended with brickwork to the south and east in the late 18th century, with further additions around 1850.

The front of the house has two storeys, a low stone eaves parapet, and a 1:3:1 window arrangement. The central section is accentuated by a projecting pedimented break. It has glazing bar sashes, with the outer bays of the central section on the first floor having painted imitation glazing bars. The ground floor incorporates tripartite windows set within round-arched recesses on the outer bays. A central pedimented doorcase has a fanlight above a six-panel door, and a trellised wrought-iron verandah extends across the three centre bays. A prominent axial ridge stack is positioned on the right, with a smaller subsidiary stack on the left. Single-storey additions, dating from approximately 1850, are located to the left and right, featuring blind imitation glazing bar sashes. The rear, northwest gable (the former cross-wing) displays exposed purlin ends.

The interior has not been inspected, but it is reported that a cellar window lintel contains an early 17th-century stair newel with elaborately carved decoration.
