Description
The Crown Hotel, located at Nos 20 and 22 in Brackley Market Place, is an early to mid-18th century building with a three-storey front that has a core dating back to the 16th or 17th century. Although the front has been modernized, it still features original sash windows and is finished in modern roughcast. On the north side, there is a wing that projects to the east. Architectural details include a moulded wood cornice, a small parapet, painted pilaster strips, and a band at the first floor level. Centrally located over a carriageway on the first floor is a Venetian window flanked by two sash windows in moulded frames. At the rear, the north-west wing contains some original sash windows in a three-sided bay, along with some renewed casement windows. Inside, the ground floor room in the north-west wing features a 16th or 17th century moulded stone fireplace with a four-centre headed design and moulded jambs, which likely belongs to the original house.
