Description
Cross Lanes Farmhouse, dating from the mid-18th century, is accompanied by adjacent outbuildings that likely date from the early 19th century. The farmhouse is constructed from roughly-coursed rubble with roughly-shaped quoins and cut dressings, topped with stone slate roofs. It is two storeys high and has two bays. The entrance, located left of centre, features a renewed six-panel door set within a stone surround. The windows are 12-pane Yorkshire sash types, framed by architraves with projecting moulded sills; the ground floor windows retain stubs of old iron bars and have rough relieving arches above them. The building has end stacks.
On the left side of the farmhouse, the lower farmbuilding includes a stable door, two boarded doors, and a small window. The right side of the house displays a wall postbox marked 'V.R.' and a four-pane sash window on the first floor of the outshut. The rear elevation features a six-panel door, two four-pane sash windows, and a four-pane Yorkshire sash window.
