Cross Tree House, with Front Boundary Wall and Railings

Cross Tree House is a detached house, likely built in the 18th century and modified in the 19th century. It features ham stone that is cut and squared, with ashlar dressings, and has a thatched roof with a steep pitch between stepped coped gables and ashlar chimney stacks. The house has two storeys with an attic and consists of three bays.

On the upper level, there are three-light horizontal-bar casement windows with timber lintels. The lower level includes 19th-century bay windows with lead flat roofs for the first and third bays. The second bay has a 19th-century elliptical-arched doorway with a beaded ashlar surround, complete with a keystone and imposts. This doorway features a six-flush-panel door and a radial-glazed fanlight, flanked by two semi-circular arched windows that match, both with leaded lights.

The east gable has horizontal-bar basements at three levels, and there is a two-storey, two-bay extension against the west gable that is currently being rebuilt as of March 1986. The interior has not been seen.

Enclosing the front garden of the main house, which is about four metres deep, is a low ashlar wall topped with simple wrought-iron railings with spikes. The gateway opposite the doorway features rectangular ashlar piers with bell-hip caps and a pair of 20th-century timber gates. The wall returns back to the corners of the house in brick with stone copings, standing about two metres high. This entire structure contributes to the setting of the house and enhances the streetscape, particularly at this important corner.
