Description
The Cross is a large farmhouse, now divided into flats, dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century. It features a painted ashlar front with a lintel band at the second floor and moulded eaves. The roof is covered with graduated slate and has an outshut at the center rear. The building includes stone copings and kneelers, with rendered chimneys at both ends.
The structure is symmetrical, consisting of two storeys and cellars, with five bays. A splayed stone staircase leads up to a central panelled door, which is topped by a Gothic-traceried fanlight set in a pedimented doorcase. The windows are sashes with glazing bars, framed by architraves. There is a plank door and three windows (one of which is blocked) at the cellar level. A stair window on the west side has a segmental head with ogee tracery, and there is a small Venetian window in the attic. The rear of the building features tripartite sashes.
