Description
The Cross House is an early 18th-century house, originally subdivided. It is constructed of coursed squared limestone with wooden lintels, and has a concrete plain-tile roof with stone-and-brick gable stacks. The house is arranged in an L shape. The symmetrical three-window front has tall, renewed two-light casement windows at each floor, and 20th-century roof dormers; the central window was formerly a doorway. A rear wing returns from the left. The interior has not been inspected. The building is included on the list for its group value.
