Description
The Crown Public House is an L-shaped building with its main entrance facing east and two parallel rear wings. Attached to the main structure is a garage range, likely converted from original stables around 1920 to 1930, which forms the northeast wing. The main block is two stories tall with an attic, featuring lined out render and stressed quoins, along with slate roofs that have red tiled cresting and axial stacks. The entrance, located in an added porch at the angle of the building, leads to the north wing, which has a two-window range with 12-pane hornless sash windows. The east wing has a single window range with similar windows. Gabled dormers in the wings were added later, around 1880. The garage wing is also two stories high, featuring 16-pane sash windows above paired garage doors that are separated by pilasters. There is raised lettering that reads 'Crown Hotel Garage' on the fascia, which has a moulded cornice. A two-window range wing runs parallel to Stryd y Bont, with renewed lower openings and 12-pane sash windows on the first floor, along with gabled dormers above. The parallel wing behind this may incorporate an earlier building, as it is wide with a steep gabled roof, and the windows in the gable end have been renewed.
