Crown House

Crown House is a house dating from around 1500, with alterations made in the 17th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame, is plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building has a 2-bay range facing west from the 17th century, and a 2-bay crosswing to the right from around 1500. There are two 19th-century stacks arched together over the entrance hall, forming one stack above. A 19th-century extension with a pitched roof made of red pantiles is located at the rear of the crosswing, and a 20th-century extension, which is two storeys tall with a flat roof, is at the rear of the main range. The house is two storeys high and has a two-window range of 20th-century casements. The entrance features a half-glazed door set within an early 19th-century doorcase that has a shallow hood supported by scrolled brackets. The left return gable displays an exposed high collar. Inside the crosswing, there are jowled posts, a boxed binding beam, a cambered tiebeam, and a complete crownpost roof with axial braces. The left range includes primary straight bracing, a chamfered axial beam, and thin joists. Crown House was formerly known as The Crown beerhouse.
