Description

Crossways is an early 19th century large house that stands three storeys high with a basement and features five windows. The building is constructed of yellow stock brick and has a stuccoed cornice and blocking course, along with a cill band on the first floor. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, are set in stucco-lined reveals and are topped with gauged flat brick arches, except for the central windows that have been altered to late 19th century sashes with smaller panes. There are ornamental cast iron balconies on the first floor. Access to the house is via ten rebuilt steps that have a plain wrought iron handrail, leading to a prostyle Ionic porch that holds a half-glazed four-panel door with a rectangular fanlight. Crossways is part of a group with Nos 8 to 13.

Local climate

Crossways sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 66% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
