Description
Crowborough Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1664, with some alterations made in the late 19th century. It is constructed of coursed stone, with some parts rendered, and features a low-pitched blue machine tile roof. The building has brick stacks at both ends and a ridge stack located to the left of the center.
The farmhouse is two stories tall and includes a cellar, presenting a three-window front that is divided into two sections. The left section originally had two stone mullioned windows with four lights, which have been replaced by similar patterned 19th-century casements, all set in chamfered reveals. Below the left-hand window, there are small two-stage buttresses. The first floor has an obscured datestone in the center and another datestone to the right, inscribed with "WS 1664." To the right end, there is a 20th-century door and window, while the right-hand end has been partially rebuilt, featuring a rendered first floor and 19th-century casements, but it still retains a 17th-century moulded eaves band. The farmhouse may have originally had a central entrance. A mullioned window remains visible in the cellar to the left of the front.
