Description
Crowood House is a mansion dating from the late 17th century and early 19th century. It features a stucco exterior on brick with slate roofs and is two stories high with an attic. The central block consists of five bays from the earlier structure, which has a rendered plat band and raised quoins, now housing a full-length hall. Attached to both sides are 17th-century wings that project two bays forward, containing a library and service areas. There is a parallel roofed rear block with a stair and reception rooms, likely from the early 19th century.
The entrance features a central broad six-panel door set in panelled reveals, accessed by four steps beneath a Roman Doric portico with side balustrades. The windows are 15-pane sashes with stone sills, and pilasters flanking the portico rise to a steep pitched pediment above the eaves, which contains a festoon and roundel. The building has a dentilled eaves cornice and three flat-roofed dormers in the hipped roof. The early 19th-century rear block includes 12-pane sashes and a canted bay window in the dining room, as well as a side elevation. To the right is a late 18th-century brick extension with three bays, each featuring a hipped roof behind a parapet and two-light Gothick timber windows.
Inside, the hall showcases reset early 17th-century panelling with fluted doorcases, a timber fire surround, and a hardwood floor, along with six-panel doors. The drawing room at the rear has a plaster cornice and a marble fireplace, with panelled shutters on the splayed window reveals.
