Description

Cross Hill House is a large house from the mid-18th century, likely incorporating earlier features, and was altered in the early 19th century. It is built of marlstone ashlar with limestone dressings and has Welsh-slate roofs with ashlar gable stacks. The house has a double-depth plan and is designed in a mid-Georgian style, standing three storeys tall.

The front of the house is symmetrical with seven windows and features full-height clasping pilasters connected by storeybands, topped with a parapet that has a moulded cornice. The windows are 12-pane sashes with projecting keyblocks. The central doorway is flanked by pilasters that support a scrolled pediment enclosing a cartouche. The front is wider than the main body of the house and has double-gabled end walls, with the right side featuring an early 19th-century stone Tuscan porch. All gables have triple-shafted stacks with moulded plinths and caps.

At the rear, there are stone-mullioned cellar windows with labels. Although the interior was not inspected, it is noted to have early moulded doorframes in the cellar, mid-18th-century panelling in a first-floor room, and other fittings from around 1800.
