Crixhall Court

Crixhall Court is a house dating from the 16th and early 17th centuries. It is timber framed and clad with red brick in English bond, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys and a garret, standing on a plinth. The roof is hipped to the left, with a shaped gable to the right featuring a projecting and moulded stack. On the first floor, there are two glazing bar sashes with segmental heads, a Dering window to the right, and a mullion and transomed window to the left. To the centre left is a tripartite glazing bar sash, another Dering window to the right, and a half-glazed door in the centre with a moulded surround and cornice. The right return has blocked window openings with moulded labels.

To the left, there is a projecting wing that is two storeys high on a plinth, featuring a plat band and a hipped roof with gables, which steps down to a lower end section. This wing has stacks at both ends and three wooden casements. The rear elevations, which were originally the main entrance front, also have two storeys on a plinth with a moulded plat band and cornice. There is a two-storey porch with a shaped gable and moulded four-centred arched doorways, leading to a door with nine ribbed panels. The windows here are an irregular mix of hollow chamfered brick mullioned and transomed styles.

Inside, the house features full framed partitions and ovolo moulded ceiling joists, along with a clasped purlin roof. There is a simple dog leg stair with turned principals and unturned balusters, as well as a newel stair by the entrance passage. An Adams style fireplace, removed from The Groves, a mid-19th century house that was demolished in 1843, is also present. The upstairs chamber contains a fine stone four-centred arched fireplace with beaded moulding. The house follows a three-bay hall and screens-passage plan but appears never to have had an open hall. Adjacent to the south is a medieval moated site.
