Description
Cross House is a house dating from the 16th or 17th century. It features a roughcast exterior over a timber frame and has a steep-pitched plain tile roof with a central gable. The external stacks are made of roughcast rubble with painted brick chimneys at the gables. The building is a single storey with an attic and has two 20th-century two-light casements in the gable, along with 20th-century scalloped eaves-boards. There is a central roughcast timber-framed porch topped with a plain tile roof, which contains a 20th-century door and a casement window on the right side. This porch is flanked by two 20th-century three-light casements. On the right side of the building, there are large purlins and principal rafters visible. At the rear, there is a wing made of roughcast, timber-frame, and brick, also with a plain tile roof and a 20th-century two-light casement. The interior has not been inspected.
