Description

Dursley Cross Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse built with Flemish-bond brickwork and features a stone plinth on the right gable. The building has a tiled roof and is arranged in an L-plan, with a projecting gabled stair turret at the angle. The main front is two stories high, with attics and a cellar located under the right-hand end, which has access through the gable. The main facade has three windows across, with the outer windows being three-light wooden mullion and transom, and the center window being two-light. The ground floor windows have steep cambered heads, while the first-floor windows have segmental heads, both featuring brick-on-end voussoirs. There is a plain string course at the first-floor level. The front door is a studded, boarded door with the original knocker, latch, and hinges, set in a heavy, chamfered frame, and is accessed by three steps. A late 20th-century porch has replaced an earlier 19th-century one. At the rear, there is a stone wing that is one story high with attics, which includes a cider house at the far end. Inside, the hall features a dado rail, and there is an original boarded door below the stairs with moulding along the edges of wider doors. Two similar doors lead to the rear of the left-hand room and have grilles over them. There is also evidence of a surviving cruck truss in the rear wing.
