Description
Crane Hall is a late 16th century timber-framed house that has been encased in painted brick during the 19th century. It features a port range and a rear wing, both also in painted brick, creating an L-shaped layout. The front range, dating from around 1840, has a low-pitched Welsh slate roof with wide eaves and gabled ends. It is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with a central gabled projection. The building has quoin plasters and a plain brick entablature band beneath the eaves. On the left and right sides, there are two-storey wooden canted bays with sash windows. The central doorway is topped with a cornice hood supported by console brackets, and there is a sash window above it. All sash windows feature glazing bars.
At the rear, the original late 16th century timber-framed structure is faced in 19th century painted brick and has a steeply pitched Welsh slate roof with gabled ends and a central brick ridge stack. This section is also two storeys high and has two old casement windows with leaded panes on the first floor.
Inside, four of the original five bays remain, including a hall, parlour, and service area, all floored. The hall features a ceiling with a roll-moulded chamfer and stops, as well as multiple roll mouldings on the joists. The roof structure appears to be complete, although it is concealed.
