Description
The Old Crown is a house, formerly a public house, dating to the 17th century, which was later encased in the 19th century. It is constructed of painted brick with an old plain-tile roof and a brick lateral stack to the rear. The building is two storeys high with a three-window front. A central double-leaf, six-panel door has an overlight and a segmental brick head. All windows are 16-pane unhorned sashes, except for a nine-pane window on the centre of the first floor. The right return features an angled bay window to the right, with a 16-pane unhorned sash window on the first floor centre, and a two-light casement window to the attic. The interior has not been inspected.
