Description

Cross Cottage is a house dated 1727, originally listed as a pair of cottages. It features a datestone inscribed "M W" and has undergone alterations, including a later rear outshut and subdivision into two houses. The building has been re-roofed in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble, with rendered sections on the left gable, ashlar quoins, and brick arches over the openings. The roof is covered with plain tiles.

The layout consists of three rooms, now adapted into two, with a lobby entry on the left and a former entrance on the right. The house is two storeys high and has four first-floor windows. The quoins are prominent, and there is a 20th-century half-glazed door beneath a lintel with the datestone above. The windows are 16-pane flush sashes with projecting sills, and there is a 20th-century sash window inserted in a blocked door to the left. On the first floor, there are similar 16-pane sashes and a small 6-pane casement above the door. The house has an axial stack on the left and an end stack on the right.

On the left return, facing Church Lane, there is a 19th or 20th-century ground-floor two-light casement in an ashlar surround beneath a segmental brick header arch, and a two-light first-floor casement in a brick surround with a segmental arch. Inside, the cottage features an inglenook fireplace, stop-chamfered beams with cyma stops, fielded-panel doors, and panelled window shutters.
