The Crown Public House And Attached Outbuilding

The Crown Public House and attached outbuilding is a house that has been converted into an inn. It dates from the 17th century or earlier and has undergone significant alterations and extensions in the early 19th century and mid-20th century. The building features part timber framing that has been refaced with brick, with some brick replacement walling. It has tiled roofs and brick stacks on the main ridge, front pitch of the main roof, side elevations, and the rear. Originally, it likely had a hall and cross-wing plan, both consisting of two framed bays. In the 19th century, it was modified to form an H-plan, with outshuts added to the front, right side, and rear.

The building is two storeys high with a cellar and has a dentilled eaves cornice on the main part. The framing is not visible on the exterior. The front elevation features a bay window on the left with a central 16-pane sash and outer 8-pane sashes. To the right, the outshut has two 16-pane sashes with gauged flat heads and part glazed double doors, along with two gabled casement dormers. The left gable end has 16-pane sashes on both the ground and first floors, with a gauged flat head and a rectangular light to the left of the first-floor window. The right gable end includes an angled bay window with a central 16-pane sash and side 12-pane sashes, as well as an 18-pane window on the first floor.

Inside, some close set vertical studding and a long straight brace are exposed on the ground floor of the right cross-wing, along with some moulded beams and a carved overmantel to the left of the main part. A small single-storey wing with an attic, featuring a projecting central porch beneath a catslide roof and flanking rectangular lights, is attached to the left side elevation. An outbuilding with three framed bays, gable end facing the road, is connected to the right side outshut.
