Cross Farmhouse

Cross Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the early 17th century. It is constructed from colourwashed limestone rubble with timber lintels and features an old plain-tile roof with brick stacks. The building has a 4-unit through-passage plan and is one storey plus attics. The front has four windows, including a plank door, two 3-light casements to the right, and two old gabled dormers with 3-light casements. To the left, there are 3- and 4-light casements along with two later dormers. There is a blind bay at the extreme left that was part of a demolished barn range, with stacks positioned to the left and right of the centre. The right gable wall has two small wood-mullioned windows with lattice lights. The rear of the building includes additional casements, three dormers, and a leaded window with moulded wood mullions. Inside, there are chamfered and stopped beams and joists, an open fireplace with a chamfered and stopped bressumer, a stone-framed fireplace in the large stack backing onto the through passage with a flanking stair, a bread oven, a timber-framed partition, and early plank shutters.
