Description
Cromwell House is a house with origins dating back to the 16th century, featuring later alterations and additions. It is built of rubble with brick dressings and has a pantiled roof, along with a brick gable stack on the east side and a single-storey east wing covered with double Roman tiles. The house originally had a through passage plan and stands at 2½ storeys with two windows, all of which are 20th century except for a ground floor left 3-light window that has ovolo mullions. To the right, there is a 2-light casement window with a loop catch, while the windows to the left and the ground right have brick segmental heads. The house features two dormer gables and a central two-storey porch with a roof that continues the pitch of the main roof, leading to a 20th-century door.
On the west elevation, there is one window, a 3-light casement with ovolo mullions on both the ground and first floors, and a 20th-century window in the gable. A straight joint can be seen between the main house and a lean-to on the left, which has a 20th-century window. The gable end projecting to the left has a large external stack. The east elevation includes an attached single-storey stable. At the rear, there is a ground floor 2-light casement with a chamfered mullion and surround, along with an iron stanchion to the left, and a 20th-century conservatory to the right. The first floor features a 20th-century window and a small window in a wooden frame with leaded lights and an iron stanchion, as well as two 2-light casements in the gable.
Inside, the inner front door has a chamfered stone 4-centred arch and is studded. The door frame at the rear of the passage is ovolo-moulded with a cambered head, and the jambs are cut back to allow for the passage of barrels.
