Description
Crowdleham is an elegant early 19th century house of two storeys and an attic. It has three windows facing the road. The roof is low-pitched and slated, with a gable end forming a pediment featuring a moulded and mutuled cornice. The house is built of yellow brick with gauged brick arches over the windows and recesses. It has a stone first-floor band and a flat frieze with a mutule cornice at eaves level.
A projecting, bifurcated chimney breast rises from a later 19th-century stuccoed central porch, passing through the pediment and forming round-arched recesses on the first and attic floors. A stone impost band sits at the first-floor recess. The attic features a central lunette and small square flanking windows. The first-floor windows are sashes with delicate glazing bars, while the ground floor has three-light sash windows without bars. A one-storey right wing and a two-storey left wing, added later in the 19th century, are also present.
On the left side of the house is a set-back, rendered screen wall with a pediment and arched recesses. The rear elevation is of similar design but is constructed of random stone with red brick quoins and dressings.
