Description
Crooked Withies Farmhouse is a detached house dating from the mid-17th century, with an extension added around 1960. The original structure features timber-framed walls, which are partly plastered and partly rebuilt in brick, with exposed timber framing visible in the upper parts of both gable walls. It has a sandstone plinth and a half-hipped thatched roof with a central brick chimney stack. The original layout was a lobby entrance plan, and the house has one storey and an attic. The 1960 wing, which has plastered walls and a thatched roof, creates an L-shaped plan and now serves as the entrance.
Inside the original house, the ground floor includes two casement windows with glazing bars set under wooden lintels, while the attic features a dormer with metal casements. There is also a later lean-to structure made of brick with a slate roof along the outer wall. The interior retains original timber-framed partitions on both floors, a large open fireplace with a timber lintel and a bread oven in the hall, and some exposed ceiling beams. The original roof structure, which is of tie and collar beam form, is still intact.
