Description
Crown House is a house of probable 15th or 16th-century origin, with later alterations and additions. It is timber-framed and mostly plastered with brick. The roof is red-tiled, spanning two ranges, with the lower range located to the right. A large, off-centre brick chimney stack is situated on the left-hand range. The first floor projects slightly, featuring a plastered panel between the windows and a 1:2:1 window arrangement of two-light casements and horizontal sliding sashes, all with small panes of glass. The ground floor has a 2:2:1 window arrangement, including casements, tripartite windows, and vertically sliding sashes. A four-panelled door is located on the left side of the house. Internally, features include an inglenook fireplace, wall studs, stop-chamfered and moulded bridging joists, ceiling beams, and a brick floor. The building was formerly a public house, and an indenture dated 1636 identifies it as "the sign of the Crown."
