Description
Crows Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1600, likely built with a timber frame, which has been modernised and rendered on all sides. It is two storeys high and features metal casement windows arranged in sets of three; there are two on the first floor and two on the ground floor, with a later gabled porch situated between them. The roof is hipped and covered with peg tiles, and there are two red brick chimney stacks on the end walls, each with two diagonal shafts set on moulded, square shoulders. A large extension to the north creates a T-shaped plan, with a smaller square plan extension on the eastern return.
