Description
Crix House is a large house built in the 18th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The house has an approximately square plan facing north, featuring three internal stacks and an external stack at the southeast corner. There is a late 19th-century service wing to the west. The straight joints in the south and west elevations suggest that the house was originally built in an L-plan, with the southwest angle completed shortly after in the same style.
The house has three storeys and cellars, while the service wing is one storey. The central part of the front elevation protrudes in a 1:4:1 arrangement. It features a six-window range of original sashes with 12 lights, flat arches made of gauged brick, and some crown glass. Each side of the central entrance has a window that is recessed in a segmental arch. The attic floor contains five original sashes with nine lights and one 19th-century casement.
The entrance has half-glazed double doors and a fanlight, set within a shallow doorcase that has attached Corinthian columns on square plinths. The doorcase is topped with a dentilled open pediment that includes swags and rosettes moulded in low relief in plaster. There are two semi-circular stone steps leading up to the entrance. The house also features a brick string course at the first floor, a moulded plaster cornice, a plain parapet, and hipped roofs.
