Description

The Former Crossing Keeper's Cottage at Croesnewydd North Fork is a two-storey building constructed from roughly coursed and squared stone, topped with a fishscale slate roof. It features gables facing north, east, and west, each adorned with ornate fretted bargeboards, along with a lower gabled wing to the south. The entrance is located in the north-facing gable, where the door is set back within a segmentally arched architrave that includes sidelights made of stressed painted stone. Above this door, there is a similar architrave framing a renewed two-light casement window, which is also found in the return of the west gable to the right. A secondary doorway is present in the west gable, with a renewed casement window above it. The east gable, which faces the railway tracks, features a canted bay window on the ground floor and a similar casement window above. The cottage has a central axial stack.
