Broken Brea Crossing Cottage

Broken Brea Crossing Cottage is a railway crossing keeper's cottage, now serving as a house, built around 1846 by G T Andrews for George Hudson's Great North of England railway. The cottage is constructed from random-coursed sandstone and features a Welsh slate roof. It has an L-shaped plan with a rear range to the left and stands two storeys tall.

The entrance front has one gabled bay with pointed relieving arches over the openings. To the right, there is a stepped diagonal buttress. On the ground floor, from left to right, there is a 20th-century six-panel door beneath a hood-mould and a window with two shouldered lights. The first floor features a window with two shouldered lights as well. The gable is adorned with decorative bargeboards and finials.

On the right return, there are two bays. The ground floor includes a 20th-century casement window and a 20th-century single-light window set in a square recess. The first floor has a 20th-century casement window below a pointed relieving arch, with a gable above that has decorative bargeboards and finials, a single-light window, and gable finials at the right end. The cottage is topped with a central stack of three octagonal chimneys.
