Crossoge House

Detached L-plan three-bay two-storey country house over basement, built c.1855, with four-bay north elevation, two-bay south and with two-storey over basement lean-to addition to rear. Entrance breakfront with open-bed pediment and pilasters. Hipped slate roof with projecting eaves supported on timber brackets, and rendered chimneystacks with terracotta chimneypots. Ruled-and-lined rendered walls, with rendered quoins and string course between ground floor and basement. Square-headed openings, some blind to gables, with timber sliding sash windows, some double to rear addition, three-over-six pane to first floor and six-over-six pane to ground, all with stone sills. Segmental-headed opening with timber panelled door with paned overlight and timber pilasters with consoles. Courtyard of outbuildings to north of house, with multiple-bay two-storey stable block to east side, with hipped slate roof and rendered walls, and multiple-bay single-storey stables to west side.

Crossoge House is a fine house set in a large estate with mature planting, and is a good representative example, in form and detail, of an early-Victorian country house. Its intact condition adds to its significance, and it contains original fabric including joinery. The estate also contains a fine two-storey stable block and a range of outbuildings which occupy the site of the earlier house, Priors Lodge, on the grounds.
