Crossways Cottage

Pair of cottages. Sandstone rubble with some slight timber framing, slate roofs. The group comprises one cottage parallel to the road with curious pavilion wing added at its left hand corner, and a second cottage at right-angles to the right. Two-storeyed throughout, the left-hand cottage is a 2-unit plan with gable end stacks, that to right larger and raised in later C19 brickwork; central boarded doorway flanked by small 2-light casement windows with flat-arched stone heads. Smaller windows to first floor have lattice glazing. Lean-to extension to rear. Pavilion wing is square in plan, and has stone-flagged roof; timber-framed with corner posts above stone plinth and slight decorative bracing applied to stone panel between the storeys; rendered panels to either side of windows, which are 3-light lattice-glazed casements in the front elevation; single light to inner return. Left-hand return has paired windows to first floor, unusually divided into three horizontally. Right-hand cottage has single stack on front gable, with doorway to its right. Single window on each floor on inner return. Small lean-to at rear has slight timber framing.

Left-hand cottage has two-room plan, with additional accommodation in pavillion wing: this has ornately carved corner posts to ground floor, dado panelling to first floor, and boarded roof. Right-hand cottage is a tiny single-room plan and small scullery accommodated in rear lean-to.
