Description
Crown Cottage is a possible hall house dating from the early 16th century, with later extensions from the 16th and 17th centuries. The building is timber framed, with whitewashed brick cladding below and tile hanging above, featuring both plain and "club" pattern tiles. It has plain tiled roofs with hips and gablets on the right and rear left. The cottage is two storeys high, with the tile hanging extending over the ground floor.
To the left of the centre, there is a multiple corbelled stack, with additional stacks at the rear. The steeply pitched gabled bay is slightly set back and canted to the left end, while a further wing is set back at right angles to the rear. The first floor has a diamond-pane oriel window on the left and an angle bay window below. There is a leaded 2-light window on the ground floor to the left, and two 3-light diamond-pane leaded casement windows on the first floor to the right, some of which contain old glass. A square bay window is located on the ground floor to the right, along with two additional windows on the ground floor. The central entrance features a ribbed door under an open gabled porch. The left-hand return front has two windows on the ground floor and one window above. Crown Cottage is part of a picturesque group of buildings surrounding the church.
