Description
Wood Cottage is a house that served as the former dower house to Scaitcliffe Hall for the Crossley family. It is designed in a picturesque Vernacular Revival style, likely from the late 19th century. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and features a slate roof with fishscale slates. The layout is T-shaped with notable irregularities. It has two storeys and three bays on the front, including a cross-wing on the left, and three bays on the rear. There are porches in both re-entrant angles; the front porch is open and pedimented, while the rear porch is closed and possibly heightened. The windows are hollow chamfered and come in various forms, with some ground floor windows slightly canted out. One window at the end of the range is supported by two columns and extends beyond the ground floor. The house has three lateral stacks, and the oversailing eaves contribute to a dynamic roofline. A crest on the gable of the cross-wing represents the Crossley family.
