10, Crown Street

No. 10 Crown Street is a house with a core dating from the 16th or 17th century and a front added in the 18th century. It is constructed with a timber frame and roughcast render, topped with a slate roof that features a wooden modillion eaves cornice. At the rear, there is a late 17th-century gable, and a wing along the south side has brick and flint walling, possibly covering a jetty.

The house is two storeys high with a cellar and has a four-window range, featuring 12-pane sashes in flush cased frames, along with one deep 18-pane sash to the left of the door. The entrance has a recessed four-panel door set in a heavy wooden Gibbs surround, which includes a keystone, cornice, and triangular pediment. A chimney stack with four diagonal shafts sits on a rectangular base.

Inside, most of the timbers are concealed, and some reproduction Georgian features have been added. One sash window on the ground floor has heavy ovolo-moulded glazing bars. The internal doors are of 6, 4, and 2 panels. In the front of the house, the upper rooms feature moulded wood cornices. The south wing, which has four bays, exposes the main timbers at the east end, where a cambered tie-beam has a cutaway section on the top, possibly for a former crown-post. There are also remains of a moulded dado at the stair.
