The Cross Keys P.H.

The Cross Keys Public House was originally two separate houses. It is a one and a half storey building with a five-window range and a later rear extension on the left end. The exterior features rubble masonry that is pebbledashed on the street-facing elevations. The roof is steeply pitched and covered with slate, featuring oversailing eaves and close verges. There is an original square, tall stone chimney stack on the left end, complete with water tabling.

The first floor has five hipped dormers, and the windows are primarily two-light casements. On the ground floor to the right, there is a shallow upper sash window with nine panes, and a former doorway to the immediate left has been converted into a window with a Victorian sash. Similar Victorian sash windows flank the current doorway, which is located to the left of the front elevation, with the window at the extreme left being larger.

The southwest corner of the building curves to follow the street line. The rear range, which is also one and a half storeys, faces the next stretch of the street and features two hipped dormers on the first floor, with the right dormer adjoining the gable end of the front range. The ground floor on the left has a Victorian sash window above a cellar opening, with a doorway to the right.

Inside, below street level, there are stout chamfered transverse ceiling beams and a fireplace bressumer. The roof features collared trusses, although more details are obscured by later alterations.
