Description
Crooksell Hall Farm House is a house dating from the late 16th century and early to mid 17th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered and has steeply pitched roofs covered in plain tiles. The main range has a two-cell lobby entry design, with an earlier four-bay service range extending forward to the right, forming an L shape on the plan. The building is two storeys high with attics.
The entrance is located between the hall and the parlour in a 20th-century gabled porch, above which is a small three-light window with ovolo mullions. The rest of the windows are mainly 20th-century casements, while the rear has two and four-light ovolo mullioned windows. A ridge stack situated between the hall and parlour features a recessed panel and a string course at the base of the shaft. The left gable end of the parlour has applied sham timber framing and an oversailing attic with exposed tie beams, plates, and purlins.
The slightly lower service wing to the right has a cross-axial ridge stack at the front centre, mixed casements, an entrance on the outer elevation, and a gable end to the rear with a 20th-century lean-to outshut. The bay at the far right is a 19th-century addition.
Inside, there is altered close studding, a broach stopped axial binding beam in the hall, and a main range butt purlin roof with both straight and arched windbraces. The service range has four-light diamond mullioned window openings that have been blocked by later construction, along with arched braces to cambered tie beams and a clasped purlin roof with arched windbraces.
