Crown Lodge

Crown Lodge is a medium-sized, two-storey gabled house built in the early 20th century (1903) and designed in a restrained Arts and Crafts style with loose baronial-renaissance influences. It has a roughly T-shaped layout, consisting of a main four-bay section and a rear service range. The house is constructed from local slatestone, with the main elevations featuring snecked, quarry-dressed facing stones and tooled granite dressings. The roof is slate covered, with a tiled ridge, dentilated eaves to the front, and central and projecting end chimneys topped with wide moulded capings. The gables have shaped triangular parapets with slab copings and curved kneelers.

The main (entrance) elevation is asymmetrical, divided into a three-bay principal part with a further bay projecting to the left. Each bay is defined by a gable in the roofline. A central entrance is sheltered by an advanced, single-storey gabled porch with modern boarded doors and small-pane sash windows to the sides. To the right of the porch is a single-storey, flat-roofed bay with a parapet and a moulded stringcourse below. This bay features a group of three sash windows with elegant small panes, unhorned and with thick glazing bars, and similar, narrower sashes to the side returns. To the left of the porch, a smaller group of three sash windows is topped with a heavy, flat label. The projecting bay to the left has paired sashes on both floors, with labels similar to those on the right; single sashes are on the returns. Similar paired sashes flank a central single sash on the first floor of the main section. Above the central window is an inset sandstone plaque bearing the monogram of Edward VII and the date 1903.

The rear of the main block has an entrance on the right corner, where it joins the service range. This entrance has a two-panel door with a two-pane upper section and a multi-pane overlight. Above the door and to the right on both floors are single sash windows. Further sash windows are on the north side of the service range, with three on the ground floor and four on the first floor, arranged asymmetrically. The roof of the service range has two skylights and a long, later 20th-century catslide dormer on the south pitch, and a catslide dormer on the north pitch. The interior of the house was not inspected.
