Description

Crespigny House is a mansion, later adapted for residential use and now divided into four separate houses. It was originally built in 1775, with alterations made in 1914, an extension to the east, and conversion to four houses in 1992. The original 18th-century house forms the western part and is entered from the north side. It is built of rendered brick with stucco detailing, and has graded slate roofs.

The north front features a two-storey porch with a double-leaf door under a grid window above. To the left of the porch is a 20th-century doorway, and to the right is a full-height semicircular bow window with two six-pane sashes on each floor, topped by a plain parapet. The north side also has a single-light casement window and a four-pane sash window set within a curved wall. The roof is hipped with four flat-topped dormers, the outer ones containing tripartite sashes, and the inner ones with squat three-pane sashes. A similar semicircular bow window is repeated at the south end of the west front, completing a three-window range which has six-pane sashes and a blind window on the first floor.

The south front comprises a two-storey main range with dormer attics, and a two-storey block projecting forward on the left. The main range has a canted bay window at the right end of the ground floor, and two six-pane sashes on the first floor. The projecting block has four bays flanked by half bays at each end, with pediments over the two central bays. The ground floor of this block features French windows, while the first floor has six-pane sashes.

The 1914 extension to the east is a two-storey block with six-pane sash windows.

The interior has been largely modernized and altered to suit various uses over the years.
