Description
The Cressy is a house dating from the early 19th century, constructed from coursed stone brick and topped with a slate roof that features stone coped gable ends and gable end stacks with short red brick shafts. The building has a double depth rectangular plan, consisting of two main front rooms separated by an entrance passageway that includes front and back doorways. The smaller room on the left has a large kitchen behind it, while the deeper room on the right contains a straight staircase that rises from the back of the room; the space to the right of the staircase is occupied by the adjoining Corner House.
The exterior of the house is two storeys high with a symmetrical two-window front. It features 19th-century two-light casements with glazing bars, where the left ground floor window is slightly larger and the right ground floor window is a small canted bay with a hipped slate roof and a 20th-century plaster window frame. The central doorway has a late 19th-century glazed and panelled door. The rear elevation includes 20th-century windows, plank doors, and late 19th and 20th-century porches.
The property also includes 19th-century front garden area railings made of wrought iron with arrow heads on the shafts, set on a dressed stone plinth, along with small monolithic stone gate-piers topped with ogee caps and a similar wrought iron gate with a curved base. Inside, the house features 19th-century joinery, including panelled and plank doors, a straight staircase with a simple stick balustrade, and a first-floor fireplace with a moulded shelf and a Victorian iron grate. The roof space is not accessible.
