Crablake Farm And Garden Walls To The East

Crablake Farm and the garden walls to the east are a farmhouse and garden walls dating from the early 19th century, possibly with an earlier core. The structure is built of stone and brick, with a cement render finish and slate roofs that are gabled at the ends. The farmhouse features rendered end stacks with platbands on the shafts. The main range of the building has rear left and right wings, forming a U-shaped plan. Inside, there are two principal rooms heated by gable end stacks, located on either side of a central stair hall that has an open well stair. A single-storey lean-to corridor at the rear connects the main range's principal rooms with the wings and serves as a service corridor to the kitchen, which is located in the rear right wing.

There are two entrances: one central to the main range that leads into the stair hall, and a second at the right end of the main range, positioned between the main range and the kitchen wing. The exterior of the house suggests a construction date around 1845, although the stair may date to the late 18th century, indicating that the house could have been refronted in the early 19th century. The building is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-bay front featuring a central gabled porch with deep eaves and a chamfered arched outer doorway, which has a plank door with strap hinges. The windows are adorned with eared lugged architraves: there are three first-floor two-light casements with two panes per light, outer ground floor windows that are four-light and transomed with two panes below the transom, and one-light windows flanking the porch, also transomed. The kitchen wing, which faces the farm lane, has similar windows, while the rear left wing includes a glazed verandah along its outer long side.

Inside, the joinery features a notable open well stair with stick balusters and a ramped wreathed handrail. The ground floor room on the left has a Devon marble chimney-piece and a ceiling rose. The stone rubble walls of the garden in front of the house are included for their group value.
