Description
Crown House and Keridor Cottage are offices and a house that were formerly part of a shop. They date back to the 16th century and consist of two sections that were altered and extended in the 19th and 20th centuries. The exterior features colourwashed render and roughcast, with the central bay showcasing an exposed timber frame and colourwashed brick infill. The roofs are covered with old tiles, and there is a small 20th-century whitewashed brick chimney at the front, which replaced a large external stack that was removed from between the left bays.
The building has a taller three-bay block on the left, which has a gabled eaves-breaking on the left bay, and two lower bays to the right. It stands two storeys high. The taller block includes a large 20th-century casement window on the ground floor of the left bay, a horizontal sliding sash window above, and 20th-century barred wooden casements elsewhere. There is a 20th-century board door with a small gabled hood situated between the right bays. The lower block features projecting 20th-century shop windows flanking the door, along with a 20th-century three-light window on the first floor to the left.
At the left end, there is a mid-19th-century extension made of colourwashed brick in rat-trap bond, topped with a slate roof. This extension is two storeys high and has two bays, featuring four-pane sash windows on the first floor, a large 20th-century ground floor window, and a 20th-century door to the right. The rear of the building has various 19th and 20th-century extensions, one of which is dated EA 1870 on brick.
Inside, timber framing is visible in the upper storey, except in the left bay, where curved braces support the tie-beams and curved wind-braces, with those in the taller block being more steeply arched. The taller block also has very heavy longitudinal joists in the right bay, an inserted floor in the centre, and alterations in the left bay. The lower block contains heavy transverse joists without spines, and features stop-chamfering on the tie-beam and brace.
