Description
Cross Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with some 19th-century alterations and additions. The building is roughcast with double Roman tile roofs and brick ridge stacks. Originally an open hall house, it has been modified into a three-unit and cross-passage plan, with further rearrangements in the 20th century. The road-facing side has two storeys and features three bays, with the left bay projecting slightly under a catslide roof. It includes two and three-light casement windows. There is a door opening in the rear wing, which has a 20th-century panelled door.
Inside, there is a stud end panel screen with a 17th-century painted pattern, and this room also has a broad fireplace with a moulded dressed stone lintel. It is believed that another stud and panel screen exists on the first floor. The roof features collar-beam trusses, trenched purlins, and wind-bracing, with one cruck thought to still be present.
