Description
Crown House is a former farmhouse that later became a public house and is now a private dwelling. It dates from the first half of the 16th century, with an addition for a parlour made in the early 17th century. The building is timber framed and plastered, with the plaster designed to imitate ashlar. The roof is covered with plain tiles at the front and pantiles at the rear, featuring a half-hipped design over the service end to the left.
Crown House has two storeys and an attic, arranged in a three-cell form. It includes various casement windows from the 19th and mid-20th centuries; the hall has mid-20th century windows at both the front and rear, with replacement diamond mullions set in the original frames. The entrance features a lobby with a gabled porch made of colourwashed brick and a 20th-century boarded door. The chimney stack has a mid-20th century shaft.
The earlier part of the house showcases widely spaced studs with tension braces. Inside, the hall and service end have plain joists, and the roof structure is a queen-post design. The parlour addition also features widely spaced studs, with arched bracing at the corners. On the ground floor, there is an axial bridging beam with grooved ogee stop-chamfers, plain joists, and remnants of a secondary window with ovolo mullions. The staircase dates from the 16th to 17th century and is a newel design.
