Description
Crossways is a former pair of cottages dating from the 17th century that has been altered. The building is constructed of rubble with a Cotswold stone roof. It features a brick chimney on the left and a rubble chimney from the 20th century on the right. The structure is two storeys high with an attic, and it includes two gabled dormers fitted with Yorkshire glazing-bar sash windows. There are two windows on the facade, which are three-light casements, except for a 20th-century casement on the ground floor to the right. The building has two doorways with chamfered triangular heads; the left-hand doorway has been converted into a window, while the right-hand doorway is half-glazed. There is also evidence of earlier openings on the facade.
