Crossways Cottage

Crossways Cottage is a pair of cottages built from sandstone rubble with some slight timber framing and slate roofs. One cottage runs parallel to the road and features a curious pavilion wing added at its left corner, while the second cottage is positioned at right angles to the first. Both cottages are two-storeyed. The left-hand cottage has a two-unit plan with gable end stacks; the right stack is larger and constructed in later 19th century brickwork. The central boarded doorway is flanked by small two-light casement windows with flat-arched stone heads. The first floor has smaller windows with lattice glazing, and there is a lean-to extension at the rear.

The pavilion wing is square in plan and has a stone-flagged roof. It is timber-framed with corner posts above a stone plinth, featuring slight decorative bracing applied to the stone panel between the storeys. The panels on either side of the windows are rendered. The front elevation has three-light lattice-glazed casements, while a single light is found on the inner return. The left-hand return features paired windows on the first floor, which are unusually divided into three horizontally. The right-hand cottage has a single stack on the front gable and a doorway to its right, with one window on each floor on the inner return. There is a small lean-to at the rear with slight timber framing.

The left-hand cottage has a two-room plan with additional accommodation in the pavilion wing, which boasts ornately carved corner posts on the ground floor, dado panelling on the first floor, and a boarded roof. The right-hand cottage is a tiny single-room plan with a small scullery located in the rear lean-to.
