Description

Crossbury Cottages is a former farmhouse from the early 19th century that has been converted into four cottages, currently occupied as three. The building likely dates back to the late 16th century and was extended in the 17th century. It features rendered stone and cob construction with a slate roof, which has a gable end on the right-hand front wing and is hipped on the left-hand wing. The structure includes a tall front lateral hall stack with a tapered cap, a stone rubble stack at the left end, a lateral brick stack on the outer face of the left-hand wing, and a brick ridge stack on the right.

The original layout has been much altered from a three-room-and-through-passage plan, now forming an overall U-shaped plan with front projecting wings on each side. The building is two storeys high and has three half-gabled dormers on the main range, which contain three-light casements. The two dormers on the left have four panes per light, while the right dormer has three panes per light. On the ground floor, there is a two-light casement with three panes per light to the left of a plank door that has a slate pentice roof. The hall section slightly breaks forward and features a three-light casement with three panes per light, with a plank door at the right end. The left-hand wing has two half-gabled dormers above two small rectangular window openings to the right of a plank door with a slate pentice roof, dating from the 19th century. It also has two-light casements with eight panes per light above a three-light casement with six panes per light at the front end. The right-hand wing has 20th-century windows. The interior is not accessible.
