Description
Cross House is a house built in the late 18th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with painted stone or plaster dressings, and features a plain tile roof with brick integral end stacks. The building has two storeys and includes a moulded eaves cornice and a blocking course.
Prominent architectural features include two two-storey tripartite bow windows, which have sill bands, glazing bar sashes, shafts, pilasters, and entablatures. The central entrance door is framed by a pedimented Tuscan doorcase and has a rectangular overlight with patterned glazing bars. Above the door, at the first-floor level, there is a rectangular panel created by the sill band, entablature, and a pair of pilaster strips.
