Description
Cross Cottage is a mid-19th century cottage with later additions, featuring a single storey and an attic. It has a rectangular plan with three bays and large canted roof dormers. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked rubble, made of yellow sandstone, with blocked ashlar margins around the openings. The building includes short quoins, a base course, an eaves course, and projecting cills beneath the windows.
The south elevation is symmetrical with regular fenestration, featuring a timber panelled door at the center. The canted roof dormers have piended roofs and cast-iron finials. The north elevation has a low, advanced bay in the center with a lean-to roof. The east elevation is harled and has a blind gable end, while the west elevation is obscured by an adjoining building.
The windows are 12-pane, timber frame, sash and case style. The roof is covered with grey slates and has lead flashing, along with roof lights at the rear. The gable end stacks are coped and feature tall, cream cans.
The interior was not seen in 2001. The boundary wall is a low, coped rubble wall at the front and is higher at the rear.
