Crossings And Adjoining House

Crossings and the adjoining house are two houses built as one, dating from the early or mid 17th century. They are one storey with attics and feature two windows. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, with raised panels roughcast in the 17th or 18th century style. The thatched roof has two 20th-century eyebrow casement dormers. There is an axial 17th-century chimney made of red brick, with the upper shaft rebuilt in the 18th or 19th century. The windows are mid-20th-century casements, and there is a mid-20th-century boarded and battened door at the cross-entry position. Crossings includes a hall and service cells, with a narrow single-storey service wing added at the rear in the late 17th or early 18th century. The unmoulded framing is of 17th-century type, with first-floor joists laid flat and a clasped purlin roof. The adjoining house comprises the parlour block, which was rebuilt in the 18th century and has two storeys and two windows. It is also timber-framed and plastered, with a concrete plaintiled roof. The early 20th-century casements have small panes, and there is a 19th-century entrance doorway with a mid-20th-century replacement six-panelled door.
