Description
Cross House is a house built in the late 18th century, with an early 19th-century extension. It features cement rendered walls, an eaves cornice, and angle pilasters. The roof is made of graduated greenslate and has coped gables and kneelers, along with cement rendered chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and three bays, with a higher single-bay extension on the right. The entrance includes a panelled door, and there are sash windows, some of which have glazing bars, all set in painted stone surrounds. A left-lean-to garage extension is present but is not of interest.
