CROWLE CP LOWER CROWLE SO 95 NW 6/23 Commandery Farmhouse
GV II Farmhouse. c1600, remodelled mid-C19. Part timber-framed with rendered infill and brick refacing, part brick, plain tiled roofs. Assymetrical plan with main range aligned north/south, rear parallel range at north end and central south end rear wings; two storeys and attic with larger gabled dormers. East front elevation: three bays with large gable above each; windows are C19 3-light casements with cambered heads, except for central bay of ground floor which has a canted, hipped-roofed, bay window with 4-pane sash window and side plain sashes, and also ground-floor window of right bay which is an inserted C20 3-light casement with flat head; main entrance between left and central bay has an open pediment, panelled pilasters and 6-panelled door. To left of C20 window is a blocked doorway with a cambered head. Left end ridge stack and large chimney to rear centre of ridge. Timber-framing exposed in north gable end, six panels from sill to tie-beam and collar and tie-beam truss with three collars and struts; framing is partly concealed by C19 single-storey kitchen wing which has a dentilled eaves cornice, a 3-light casement and ledged and battened door in its east front elevation and a large chimney at its north gable end. Interior: no framing exposed apart from north gable end; roof not accessible. The farmhouse must have been one of the largest and most important timber- framed buildings in the parish during the C17 as implied by the proportions of the exposed frame in the north gable end. It is very probable that con- siderable further evidence of this is concealed within the building.
