Description

Cross Keys Cottage is an 18th century cottage that was originally one dwelling but has since been divided into two separate homes. The building is two storeys high and features three windows. The original central door has been blocked off at the ground floor, and there are now new side entrances on both the left and right. The ground floor is made of brick and painted white, while the upper part is tile hung. The cottage has casement windows with intact glazing bars. It is topped with a half hipped tiled roof, which includes one gabled dormer on the right side.
