Description
Cross Keys is a house built in the early 18th century, with 20th-century extensions at each end. The walls are made of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring blue headers, red flush quoins, and rubbed flat arches, along with a moulded band at the first floor. The extensions include brickwork with some flint panels on the north side. The original block has a slate roof at the front, while the other areas have a tile roof.
The symmetrical east front is two storeys high with five windows. It features 18th-century style leaded lights, including one in the former central doorway. The wooden doorcase at the fifth bay has an open pediment supported by brackets, fluted pilasters, and a six-panelled door. The extensions are unequal in size, consisting of one storey and an attic. The rear elevation includes a tall narrow gabled staircase projection, a gabled dormer, and ground-floor projecting service wings.
