Description
Cross Trees and Oak Tree Cottage is a house and cottage that was used as a workhouse in the 19th century. Cross Trees dates from the late 17th to early 18th century, while Oak Tree Cottage was added to the right in the late 18th century. The building is constructed of coursed rubble limestone with roughly dressed quoins, a stone slate roof, and rubble stone ridge chimneys. It has two storeys and an attic.
Cross Trees, on the left, features two bays of three-light hollow-chamfered stone mullion windows with Tudor hoodmoulds; the left windows have leaded glazing, while the right ones have barred wooden casements. There are two gabled roof dormers with two-light wooden casements and a central flush-panelled top-lit door with a 20th-century gabled hood.
Oak Tree Cottage has one bay with two-light wooden windows that have dressed stone jambs and wooden lintels, each window featuring one opening metal casement. It also has one gabled roof dormer with a two-light wooden casement and a 20th-century stable-type door to the right, which also has dressed jambs and a wooden lintel.
