Description
Cressy House is a detached house dating from the mid to late 18th century, with significant alterations made to the front in the late 18th to early 19th century. The building features an ashlar facade, while the rest is constructed from coursed squared and dressed limestone. The rear has a stone slate roof, while the front is covered with slate, and there are brick stacks. The house has a 'U'-shaped plan and includes a single-storey lean-to at the rear with a corrugated asbestos roof, which is not of special interest.
The main part of the house is two storeys high with an attic, which is illuminated by two 2-light roof dormers. The symmetrical facade has five windows, all of which are segmental-headed casements with a single curved stone flanking a central keystone. The central entrance features a 19th-century segmental-headed six-panel door, with the upper two panels now glazed, set within a segmental-headed surround that matches the window surrounds. A projecting gabled wooden canopy supported on brackets enhances the entrance. There is a deep band between the floors and a moulded stone eaves cornice. The wings at the rear have hipped gable ends, and there are stacks at the gable ends of the main body. The interior has not been inspected.
