Description

Old Crown House is a house dating from the late 16th century, which was altered and re-fronted in the late 18th century. The interior features a timber frame. The front of the building has colourwashed render on the ground floor and roughcast above, with smooth render quoins. It has a tiled roof adorned with ornamental bands of grey and shaped tiles, and a central gable with original carved bargeboards. There is a small brick chimney on the left side. The house is two storeys and an attic, with two bays.

On the ground floor, there are paired barred sash windows and a wooden entablature supported by Doric pilasters. The first floor features tripartite sashes, and there is a four-pane sash in the attic gable. The interior layout consists of two rooms deep with a double-sided chimney stack at the center. The fireplace in the front room on the ground floor has moulded stone jambs with slender shafts and a timber lintel with a moulded Tudor arch. This room also contains 17th-century panelling with a carved foliage frieze. The first-floor front room has a fireplace with a moulded stone Tudor arch and 18th-century panelling above, along with the frame of an original window at the rear of the room. A spiral staircase leads to the attic landing, which has 17th-century splat balusters. Additionally, there is a wooden Doric column on the front left of the ground floor. The building was once a public house.
