Description
The Crown is a farmhouse that was formerly an inn, built in 1729, likely incorporating an earlier structure. It features random rubble construction, including large, old squared stones, and is roughcast. The roof is made of graduated Lakeland slate and has been renewed with brick chimneys. The building is two storeys high with five windows. In the second bay, there is a boarded and battened door set within an architrave, which has a frieze inscribed with "JOHN GALION AD 1729" and a cornice supported by fine moulded stone brackets. The ground floor has five sash windows and a blocked door, while the upper floor also has five windows. The roof is gabled with overhanging eaves and features a decorative bargeboard on the left side. There is one end stack and two ridge stacks.
At the rear, there is a continuous outshut under a catslide roof. Inside, the building has early 18th-century roof timbers in the outshut, and it is said that the roof is also old. The interior includes two- and three-panel doors.
