Description
Crouchmoor Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with the hall range remodeled in the 17th century. It features a casing of 18th-century brick and underwent renovations and a rear extension in the 19th century. The building has a timber frame that is roughcast, with the ground floor cased in red brick and steep old red tile roofs. It is a two-storey house with a cellar, designed in a T-plan, set back from the road and facing east. The house has a gabled north crosswing that jetties to the front. The entrance lobby is centrally located, adjacent to a very large internal chimney, which has a gabled projecting stair tower at the rear. There is a rear outshut with a 19th-century extension behind the stair tower. The west front features three windows on each floor and a rampant lion plaque from the Sowerby Estate. The windows are two-light flush casements, and there are attached shafts to the large central chimney. The crosswing has a dark weatherboarded gable triangle.
