Description
The Old Crown is a public house dating from the 17th century, with some alterations. It features a timber frame with brick and plaster infill on the left gable, while the front has been rebuilt in brick. The building has a thatched roof, which is half-hipped on the left and hipped on the right, with a brick chimney situated between the left-hand bays. The structure is 1½ storeys tall and consists of three bays. The ground floor has barred wooden casements that are three-light with segmental heads, while the first floor has two-light casements, some of which are partly in thatch. There is a 20th-century bow window between the right-hand bays, with an entry to the right. The main entrance, located between the left-hand bays, features a 20th-century gabled porch. Additionally, there are 20th-century extensions at the rear.
