Crown House

Crown House is a house that has been converted into a veterinary hospital and remains a residence. It likely dates from the 16th century and was refronted in the early 18th century, with further alterations made in the mid-19th century and some in the late 20th century. The building has a timber frame covered in painted brick and features a machine tile roof. It is designed in a U-shape, probably consisting of a hall and cross-wings.

The south-west front has gabled cross-wings at each end, with 19th-century framing added to the gables. The building is two storeys high and has a dentilled brick cornice, with a band on the left cross-wing. The front has a window arrangement of 2 + 2 + 2 on the upper floor, which includes two fixed casements on the left, followed by a three-light 20th-century casement, and three two-light 20th-century casements. The ground floor features a window arrangement of 1 + 2 + 1, with all being fixed casements except for the three-light casement on the right.

There are two entrances between the two left-hand windows, each with wooden architraves and 20th-century panelled doors. A roughly central entrance has a 19th-century gabled tile canopy and a glazed door, while a similar entrance on the right cross-wing is accessed by three brick steps. Traces of earlier window positions can be seen on the ground floor, indicated by rubbed brick heads. The left-hand return wall shows exposed framing that is close-studded. Inside, the hall range on the ground floor features a moulded ceiling beam, and evidence in the subsidiary beams suggests that the front wall was jettied.
