Description
Crossfield Farm and Cottage is a farmhouse that has been converted into two houses, with a datestone reading "1724 TJSH" (Scott and Hill) on the farm buildings. The structure is built of watershot stone and features a stone slate roof with a brick chimney stack. The house part includes a projecting cross-wing to the right, which is now the cottage, along with a porch and a through passage that has been blocked by a slightly later wing at the rear. To the left, a separate outbuilding has been incorporated into the house via a single-storey linking passage, while the main structure consists of two storeys.
The house part features a 5-light chamfered mullion window (with one mullion removed) and later windows above. The cross-wing has a 2-light window from the 20th century, a 4-light window without mullions, and a 3-light window also without mullions, all with chamfered recesses. The former outbuilding has undergone significant alterations but still retains a 3-light flat-faced mullion window on the ground floor. The rear of the building includes various 2 and 3-light windows. The farm buildings associated with the datestone are not of particular interest.
