Description
Crossing House Cottage is a railway crossing cottage that has been converted into a house. It was built around 1846, likely by T.C. Hine of Nottingham for the Midland Railway. The cottage is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and features slate roofs with ashlar coped gables and kneelers, showcasing a Tudor Revival style. Notable architectural details include a plinth, raised ashlar quoins, and a chamfered eaves band.
The building is two storeys high and consists of a single bay in a T-plan layout. The south front features a central projecting wing with a 4-light cross mullioned canted bay window, and above it, a 2-light window. To the right, there is a small transomed window, and to the left, an obliquely projecting gabled porch. The west gable has a 4-light cross mullioned canted bay window, with a 2-light mullioned window above it. The interior was remodelled in the late 20th century. This cottage was originally built to serve the Nottingham-Lincoln line, which was engineered by George Stephenson and opened in 1846.
