Description
The Crown Public House is a mid-18th century building originally designed as a house and now functioning as a public house. It is constructed from colourwashed limestone rubble and features a gabled old tile roof with brick ridge and end stacks. The building has a two-unit lobby-entry plan and stands two storeys tall with a three-window range. A segmental brick arch frames a 20th-century door, while flat brick and stone arches are present over other 20th-century and blocked windows, including a blocked stair-light to the left of the door. There is a rear left wing made of similar materials, which is one storey with an attic, and a 20th-century extension to the rear right. Inside, there are stop-chamfered beams and an open fireplace on the left, as well as another open fireplace and chamfered beams on the right. The first floor and rear areas have not been inspected. The building is included for its group value.
