Crownleigh House

Crownleigh House is a house dating from around 1600, which was extended in the early 18th century and refronted in the mid-19th century. It features a timber frame with a red brick front and white brick dressings, while the rear is plastered. The house has a steeply pitched pantiled roof and is designed in a five-bay, three-cell lobby entry plan, standing two storeys tall.

On the ground floor, there are steps leading up to a recessed door that is part glazed, part raised, and part fielded, consisting of six panels, located to the right of centre. The windows are recessed glazing bar sashes. The first floor has three sets of three-pane sashes, and all openings have cambered heads. There is an axial ridge stack positioned to the right of centre. The right bay is partially built over the earlier end bay of Oakdene. At the rear right, there is an 18th-century gabled bay with part-opening metal frame casements and an external stack. The rear centre features a boarded door and an 18th-century thick glazing bar sash window.

Inside, the house has a stop-chamfered cross axial binding beam, jowled storey posts, and a newel stair located behind the stack. The main chamber on the first floor to the left has crossed run-out ovolo moulded binding beams with a central Tudor rose boss, along with a cavetto and ovolo moulded heavy plaster cornice. The chamfered jowled posts have a rebated section, and there is a stop-chamfered axial binding beam to the right. The roof structure includes cambered collars and halved principals clasping purlins, with cranked arched windbraces.
