Cross House Including Front Railings

Cross House is a house located on the west side of The Cross, dating from the late 17th century. It features a plastered and colourwashed timber frame, with an early 19th-century brick front block designed in a lobby-entrance plan. The roofs are made of plaintile and slate. The timber-framed section has two storeys, with the east side concealed by an early 19th-century crenellated brick screen wall. This wall has a four-panelled door, of which the upper two panels are glazed, and a late 19th-century three-light cross casement window. The first floor includes pargeted panels and a two-light 20th-century casement window. The gabled roof has an internal gable-end stack on the north side, while the west roof slope is covered with black-glazed pantiles.

The south range of the house has three storeys and features a central six-panelled door. There are 20th-century top-hung casement windows on either side of the door, set under rendered and painted gauged skewback arches. Above these, on each floor, is one similar 20th-century top-hung casement window, while the rest of the elevation is without openings. The roof is hipped with a central ridge stack. Inside, there is a cellar with wine bins. The front yard is enclosed by railings made up of diamond-section principal verticals and square-section secondary verticals, all topped with bobbin finials.
