Description
The Cross and Manor House, originally known as The Manor House, consists of two houses that date back to around 1700, with alterations made in the mid-18th century and the 20th century. The building is divided into two sections: the left side, known as The Cross, is constructed from dressed stone, while the right side, the Manor House, is made of slobbered rubble with stone dressings and a slate roof.
The Cross features three storeys and three bays. Its central entrance is formed from a louvred former cross window, with a transom and the upper part of the mullion now creating a two-light fanlight, all framed by a moulded surround. The ground floor has two windows and the first floor has three windows, all with moulded surrounds; these are likely former cross windows with transoms and mullions now replaced by 20th-century casements. On the second floor, there are two widely spaced three-light chamfered mullioned windows, also with 20th-century casements.
The Manor House has two storeys and two bays. The left-hand entrance was once the central entrance for the entire property and features a Gibbs surround, a cornice, and a round-headed pediment that is broken, possibly where a finial was once located. There is a scrolled shield in the tympanum, which is now illegible but is believed to have carried the date 1746. To the right of the door, there is a two-light window on all three floors, with moulded surrounds; the mullion is missing except on the second floor, where a flat-faced mullion remains. Above the entrance, there is a narrow blind window with a moulded surround, likely the left-hand half of a cross window with the transom missing, aligned with similar first-floor windows of The Cross. The building features quoins and gable end ridge stacks.
