The Old Crown

The Old Crown is a house dating from the late 16th or early 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. It is timber-framed and rendered, with a slate roof. Originally, it likely had a three-cell layout and a lobby entry plan with stairs positioned behind a stack. The house is two storeys high. The gable end facing the road is jettied, featuring renewed brackets, and is underbuilt with a 4-light, rectangular bay window of the 19th century. A 2-light flush frame casement window is located on the first floor. The steeply pitched roof has a half-hip design with 19th-century cusped bargeboards. The right return side includes an entrance within a 19th-century gabled porch and two first-floor horizontal sliding sash windows. The left return has an entrance and several 20th-century casement windows, also with two first-floor horizontal sliding sash windows. A ridge stack, rebuilt with a new cap, sits between the two front bays. An external stack has been added to the rear, along with a single-storey outshut addition. The interior has not been inspected. The building was formerly a public house.
