Crockfords Farmhouse

Crockfords Farmhouse is a late 17th-century building with a later 19th-century addition. It is a two-storeyed timber-framed structure consisting of two bays, with an attached western unit that is positioned at right angles to the main building. The exterior primarily reflects the later period, except for a small section of timber-framed walling on the north side of the outshot. The roof is steeply pitched and covered with red tiles, featuring a gable on the west side, a shafted stack, and a gabled dormer on the front that has a cill at the eaves level. The walls are constructed of red brick in English bond, with cambered openings for the ground-floor and upper windows in the gables, and a thin flush blue brick band. The windows are casements, and there is a plain brick porch topped with a tile roof. Inside, the heavy framework is exposed in a cross wall, showcasing brick-nogged construction, an arch-braced cambered tie beam, and arch bracing to some of the purlins; the outshot is mainly timber-framed. There is a massive fireplace with an exposed timber bressumer, which is now mostly filled in.
