Description
Lower Cross Farm (number 107/107A) and attached barn date to the mid-18th century, with alterations in the 20th century. The building is constructed of coursed millstone grit with ashlar dressings, and has graduated stone slate roofs and stone stacks. The central stack is rendered.
The exterior presents as two houses with an attached barn to the rear. The front elevation has seven windows arranged in a 3:4 pattern. Number 107 features an off-centre round-headed doorway with a 20th-century door and fanlight, set within a painted ashlar surround with brackets and a moulded flat hood. To the left are two 20th-century bow windows in painted flush ashlar surrounds, and to the right a single bow window in a similar surround. Above are four 2-light casements with glazing bars in matching surrounds. Number 105 has a 20th-century glazed door in a flush ashlar surround, linked to a tall stair window above with glazing bars. To the left is a blocked doorway with a pilastered ashlar surround, flanked by single 20th-century bow windows in flush ashlar. Above are two 20th-century windows with glazing bars. The left return features a blocked doorway to the first floor, above a blocked cellar opening. There is a plinth.
The rear elevation includes a 3-light mullion window and a round-headed staircase window in an ashlar surround with a keystone and original (now partly obscured) glazing bars, as well as a 20th-century single-storey extension. Single 2-light casements with glazing bars in flush ashlar surrounds are positioned either side above.
The attached barn to the rear of Number 107 incorporates ventilation slits, scattered openings and two segmental openings, one blocked, the other with a rusticated surround and a 20th-century projecting porch. A single-storey extension is set into the angle of the main range and barn, with a flat roof extension to the barn. The interior was not inspected.
