Crudwell House

Crudwell House is a detached house dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of squared and coursed rubble to the side and rear walls, with an ashlar facade on the south front. The roof is gabled and covered in Welsh slate, with rebuilt stone stacks at each end. The south front has three bays and three storeys, featuring tripartite 12-pane sash windows to the outer bays, a single 12-pane sash on the centre of the first floor, and a 9-pane sash on the centre of the second floor, all set in deep reveals. A central Doric porch provides access, with a glazed two-leaf outer door and a part-glazed two-leaf inner door. Architectural details include a moulded plinth course, first and second floor platbands, a moulded cornice, and a blocking course. A single-storey extension was added in the late 19th century to the left of the main house. Inside, the entrance hall has stone flags, and a cantilever staircase is present, distinguished by its square balusters and mahogany handrail. A marble fireplace is located in the ground floor room to the left. According to Nikolaus Pevsner’s “The Buildings of England: Wiltshire” (1975), the house is of group value.
