Description
Cross Cottages is a former house that has been converted into a row of three cottages. It dates back to the 17th century, with a south gable from the 18th century and some minor changes made in the 19th century. The building features an exposed timber frame, primarily visible in the upper part, with a short section of close-studding at the ground floor. This close-studding is filled with painted brick and flint, while the other walls are constructed of brick in English bond, with small areas of flintwork that have brick dressings. The north wall is boarded and dates to the 20th century. The roof is thatched, hipped at the north end, and has a steep catslide at the rear. The east front has two storeys with four irregularly spaced windows, which are casements. There are three boarded doors in plain frames, with doors 1 and 2 being coupled, all featuring slated hoods and trellised sides, and accessed via brick steps. A massive tapered stack is located at the south end of the building.
