Description
Cromwell House is a detached house with a shop on the ground floor, dating from the 18th century. The exterior is pebbledashed and painted, topped with a pantiled roof. It stands three storeys tall, featuring an end gable that faces the road, adorned with bargeboards and applied timber-framing in the gable, which is battered. The front has a two-window range with cambered-headed 9/6 pane sash windows that have thick glazing bars and exposed frames on the first and ground floors, along with a casement window in the gable. The doorway on the left side is square-headed and features a plain oak door with iron hinges and a hood. There is a plinth with a chamfered right corner, and the building steps down into two wings at the rear.
Inside, the ground floor retains a stone Tudor fireplace with a flat arch and spandrels, along with two chamfered beams that run parallel to the frontage and a flag floor. The roof is believed to have wind-braces still in place.
