Description
Cross House is a house that has been converted into a hotel, with a garden wall at the front. It dates from the early 18th century and is rendered and painted, likely made of stone rubble. The left side wall features asbestos slate hanging, and the roof is also covered with asbestos slate and has gable ends. The original layout was probably a two-room arrangement with a central entrance and a stair projection at the rear. The room at the rear left may have been part of the original design or added as a service room in the mid to late 18th century.
The exterior is two stories high and has a symmetrical five-window front, featuring early 19th-century hornless 12-pane sash windows. There is a glazed porch from the early 20th century in the center, flanked by two sash windows on each side, with five more sash windows above. The rear stair projection is lit by a 19th-century window with margin glazing bars.
The interior has not been inspected. The garden wall, made of 19th-century stone rubble and capped with slate, encloses a triangular garden in front of Cross House, with pebbles arranged in the pattern of a Latin cross.
