Description

Old Crown House is a house dating from the late 17th century and mid 18th century, located on High Street in Stoke Ferry. The building is constructed of flint, carstone, and clunch, with some areas colourwashed. It features a roof made of both pantiles and plain tiles, and has two storeys plus an attic. The facade is slightly angled to fit the road, and the western half of the building was demolished in 1977.

There are four surviving 18th-century sash windows, all with glazing bars, along with a few blocked windows. The gabled roof includes a mix of plain and pantiles, and there is a flat-topped dormer on the right side. A ridge stack is positioned left of centre, featuring a rectangular plinth with eight lozenge flues. At the rear, there are two gabled cross wings that end in two Dutch gables at the centre. The central entrance door is complemented by a glazed bay window to the left, which is covered by a hipped slate roof, and a partly blocked 18th-century casement window to the right. Each gable on the first floor has one segmental sash window, and a continuous flat brick string course runs along the eaves line.
