Description
Cross House is a detached house dating from the 17th century or early 18th century, with some alterations. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone and features a roof that is partly covered with stone slate and partly with blue slate, accented by chamfered gable copings on moulded kneelers. The building has two storeys and displays two gables on the front; there was likely a third gable on the right side, which has since been changed to a hipped roof. The rear of the house has three gables, one of which is a 19th-century rebuild that includes a reset datestone from 1662. Although the facade has been significantly altered, several original double chamfered windows remain, including a five-light window and a four-light window at the first floor, with the former featuring a hood mould. There is also a doorway with a deep chamfered lintel and a 20th-century bay window.
