Description
Crown Cottage is a house that dates back to the 17th century, featuring two original bays that have been altered, along with 19th-century extensions at the rear and 20th-century extensions to the left. The garden front displays timber framing with whitewashed brick infill on the first floor of the right bays. The ground floor and right gable have been mostly rebuilt in whitewashed brick, while the left side has two 20th-century bays that are also whitewashed and rendered. The cottage has old tile roofs and a rebuilt brick chimney on the right. It stands two storeys high with four bays and has irregular barred wooden casements, including those in flat-roofed eaves-line dormers in the extension. There are two doors to the right of the centre: the left door is half-glazed, and the right door is barred and glazed, both featuring 20th-century flat wooden hoods. The rear of the cottage is rendered and whitewashed, with similar casements and the main entrance. Inside the older part of the house, there is substantial timber framing in the upper rooms, complete with curved bracing and wind-braces. A stop-chamfered spine beam can be found in the ground floor right room.
