Description
The former Old Crown Public House is an early to mid-18th century building, although it is believed to incorporate a timber frame possibly dating back to the 17th century. The front elevation is three storeys high, with five windows on the first floor and three on the second floor. A 19th-century pilastered pub front of limited architectural interest occupies the ground floor, alongside a former carriageway that has been infilled with a more recent pub front. The upper floors are faced with brown brick, accentuated by red brick dressings around the windows of the first floor. The first-floor windows are segmental arched and have slightly recessed sash boxes. The second-floor windows feature three casements each. A brick band runs along the second floor level. The roof is tiled. The rear and side elevations are rendered and gabled, with some timber framing visible on the upper floors.
