Description

Cross Guns Inn, along with number 32 Park Street in Newtown, is a building constructed with English garden wall bond brick, featuring some rubble work and plastered at the front. It has a gently pitched slate roof with a plain eaves cornice. A tall composite brick chimney stack rises from the ridge, while a lateral brick stack is located on the front elevation, serving the weaving lofts at the right end of the building.

The former weaving lofts have shallow three-light iron casement windows, as do the first floor, both with cambered heads and shallow reveals, although the sills have been updated. The ground floor features modern windows. A later 19th-century gabled timber porch, complete with bargeboards and finials, has boarded sides and a panelled door. There is also another door with a cambered head located at the extreme right.

At the rear of the weaving loft, there are three-light casements and several blocked windows. Inside, the partition walls are constructed with timber framing and brick nogging.
