Description
Cross Lanes Cottage is a house dating from around 1600. It features a timber frame with brick infill on the upper storey, while the ground floor was rebuilt in the 19th century using red brick, with flint incorporated into the left gable wall. Some sections of the right bay are made of thin brick. The cottage has a half-hipped roof covered with old tiles and a 17th-century brick chimney located between the right bays. The building is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with irregular wooden casements. There is a boarded doorway situated between the left bays and a 20th-century board door between the right bays. Additionally, there are extensions added to the right side of the cottage from around 1980, constructed of brick and partly rendered and whitewashed. Inside, the cottage features stop-chamfered spine beams, slightly chamfered joists, diagonal braces, and wind-braces.
