Description
The Crown Hotel, along with a stable at the rear, is a public house that dates back to the 17th century, with remodels from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed from limestone rubble and features a steep-pitched slate roof with stepped stone coping and moulded kneelers. The building has brick stacks located at the gable ends and the center of the ridge, with the right stack being truncated.
The hotel has a three-unit plan, which includes a 19th-century rear left wing. It stands two stories tall and has a four-window range. The first-floor windows are two-light casements set under wooden lintels at eaves level. There is a carriage entrance to the right of center, followed by a mid-19th-century shopfront that includes steps leading up to a half-glazed door with an overlight, flanked by two-light windows with two panes each. To the left of the carriage entrance, there is a small rectangular bay featuring an early 19th-century shop window with five rows of five panes, topped with a moulded cornice and corner consoles. Beneath this bay is a barred window for the basement. On the far left, a two-light casement is situated above cellar doors leading to a half-basement.
The early 19th-century rear wing is three stories high and has a three-window range, all featuring three-light casements. The passage leading to the courtyard includes a heavy chamfered cross beam with an ornamental stop at the front end, resting on a large wooden lintel at the rear and supported by an iron bracket at the front.
Inside, the room above the archway has a timber-studded partition that leads to an axial wall.
In the rear courtyard, there is a 19th-century two-storey stable block made of rubblestone, topped with a pantile roof. This stable block features a hayloft door on the first floor, located left-of-center, a two-light casement under a flat gauged stone arch on the ground floor to the left, and two wide 20th-century garage doors to the right.
