Description
The Crown and Pipes Public House is an early 18th-century inn located on the north side of High Street in Fenstanton. The building features a three-bayed timber-framed cross-wing on the right side, with rendered brick walls and a timber frame. It has a modern plain tile roof that includes a gable at the junction with the wing, and a tall ridge stack made of local brick. The structure is two stories high, with an additional one-story and attic section. There is a band between the floors, one gabled dormer window, and three first-floor hung sash windows with glazing bars, two of which are set in segmental arches. The ground floor has three modern windows and a modern door.
