Description

Crookmore is a two-storey, three-bay, T-plan house built around 1878, designed for quarry workers. It faces south towards the River Dee and features a central doorway flanked by windows. The outer bays have pedimented wallhead dormers. At the rear, there is evidence of a former doorway on the first floor that accessed a separate upper flat, along with signs of a previous bridged access from an adjacent retaining wall, although the building is now under single ownership. The exterior is constructed from stugged, squared, and coursed granite.

The windows are a mix of 4-pane sash and case timber and uPVC, while the entrance has a six-panel stained timber door from the late 20th century. The roof is grey slated with terracotta ridge tiles, and the granite skews are tooled. The chimney stacks are made of stugged, squared granite with a simple cornice and octagonal clay cans. The property also features cast-iron rhones and rhone pipes.

The interior was not accessible during the survey in 2006.

The boundary walls, gatepiers, and railings consist of stugged, squared, and snecked granite with bull-faced coping. The square gate piers are tooled with narrow ashlar margins and bull-faced capitals, and there is a wrought-iron gate and railings.
