Description
Emwell Cross House is a building set back from the street, dating from the 17th century or early 18th century. It has two storeys and an attic, constructed of English bond brick on a rubble base with splayed capping. The house features ashlar quoins, a moulded drip string over the ground floor windows, and a moulded wooden eaves cornice. The roof is covered with Hansard old tiles, which splay out to the eaves and are ¼ hipped to the left, with chimneys rising from the rear wall. The left-hand gable is built of rubble.
The fenestration has been altered in the early 19th century, blocking earlier paired windows. It has glazing bar sash windows, with three windows featuring architrave frames on the first floor and two similar windows, each four panes wide, on the ground floor. There are two hipped three-light dormers flanking a central hipped two-light dormer. A modern central door made of beaded planks is set within a stout architrave surround, topped with a flat hood on brackets. Traces of former entrance jambs can be seen in the rubble footing. At the rear, there is a projecting rendered lower two-storey wing with two transomed windows that have moulded edges.
