Description
Tom Crag is a house built in the late 17th century or 18th century. It is constructed of stone rubble and has a slate roof. The building has two storeys and consists of six bays, with a single-storey outhouse to the left. The windows feature slated lintels and 20th-century small-paned casements. The entrance is located in the third bay, accessed through a lean-to porch. To the left of the entrance, there is a two-light wooden chamfered-mullion window with four intermediate bars and interior oak shutters that have har hinges supported by wooden bars, along with a recess in the soffit of the lintel. There are also entrances to the outhouse and the end bay. The house has a gable-end stack and a cross-axial stack with a round shaft. The rear of the building is similar, and the wing at the left end was originally a barn. Inside, there are some chamfered beams, including one over the fireplace with a heck post, and the former barn features two collar and tie beam trusses. The wooden mullioned window with original shutters is a rare example.
