Description

Crown Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the mid-17th century and was remodeled in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of rubble with stone slate and imitation stone slate roofs, with the northeast wing having a steeper pitch. The front wing features two brick chimneys. The building is arranged in an L-plan, with the northeast wing being from the 17th century and the south range added in the mid-19th century.

The northeast wing has a lobby entry from the east and is two stories tall with two windows. The ground floor windows have hollow chamfered surrounds, with the left window featuring a central king mullion and a drip. There is a large central stack with three flues separated by narrow arched slits, and a doorway to the right. Inside, there is a large inglenook in the right-hand room, and in the south room on the first floor, there is a notable Tudor arch fireplace with urn stops. The doorway has an ovolo-moulded frame with raised diamond stops, and there are decorative stops on the first-floor cross beams. The north room on the first floor has a black letter inscription on the gable wall.

A short block connects this building to the roadside range, which features a principal doorway with a scroll bracketed open pediment porch. The south range has a gable on the left side facing the road and a long outbuilding range to the right. It has one window on the left and two on the right, with timber lintels over 20th-century two- and three-light cross-mullion casements at slightly irregular heights. There is a doorway to the right with an open stone pediment on large scroll brackets leading into a passage with an end arch. The right-hand block has various openings to the north and stone steps leading to a granary, while the facade facing the road is rather plain.
