Description
Crossway Farmhouse and the adjoining haybarn are located in Brilley and date back to the 17th century, with extensions likely added in the mid-18th century and alterations in the mid-19th century. The farmhouse is constructed from a mix of painted rubble, timber framing with painted brick and wattle-and-daub infill on a rubble base, some weatherboarding, and features a stone tiled roof laid in diminishing courses, topped with a rubble and blue brick ridge stack. The building has five bays aligned northeast to southwest, with three original framed bays situated to the northeast and a large chimney at the junction with the rubble section. It is a single storey with an attic that includes dormers.
The southeast front elevation features mainly 19th-century casement windows. The two rubble bays on the left have a 2-light ground floor window, a gabled dormer with a 2-light 20th-century casement, and two doors: one ledged and battened, and the other partly glazed. The three framed bays include two 3-light windows, a multi-paned metal window, a gabled dormer with a 2-light window, and the main entrance, which has a ledged and battened door with a moulded architrave, as well as a double doorway.
Inside, the framed section has a roof with a collar and tie-beam truss with struts, a large fireplace featuring a 19th-century range, and a winder staircase located at the rear of the fireplace. The adjoining haybarn, which is also from the 17th century, is timber-framed and weatherboarded on a rubble base with a corrugated metal roof. It consists of two framed bays and has a ledged and battened door along with a shuttered opening on the southeast elevation. The interior wall framing includes two rows of panels from sill to wall-plate and large straight braces in the lower corners. It features collar and tie-beam trusses with struts, an intermediate arch-braced tie-beam truss with swept raking struts, and two tiers of trenched purlins.
