Crossing Keeper'S Cottage

Crossing Keeper's Cottage, formerly known as Railway Crossing Cottage, is a Grade II listed building dating from around 1840, built for the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company. It is constructed of dressed sandstone in graduated courses, with rock-faced gable ends and Welsh slate roofs, featuring stone chimney stacks.

The cottage is a two-storey, two-bay house with a set-back extension to the left. The central stone porch has a moulded door surround, a corniced top, and a flat roof. On either side of the porch are replaced 24-pane horizontal-sliding sash windows with projecting rock-faced sills. Above, there are two smaller, identical sashes, and to the left, there is a ceramic plaque featuring the letters G I in a shield and S & D R. The roof has paired stone gutter brackets, copings, shaped kneelers, and stone ridge tiles, with end stacks that have rock-faced top bands.

The one-storey extension has a replaced door and a 12-pane horizontal-sliding sash window to the left. Notably, this building does not appear on the 1:10000 scale Ordnance Survey map.
