Description

The former Cross Keys Hotel built between sometime after 1844, is a two-storey building rectangular in plan and constructed from coursed rubble stone and red brick. The roof is of a hipped style construction with slates tiles, and topped with ceramic ridge tiles. The entire front elevation is constructed of red-brick in an English Garden wall pattern, and each of the windows has a red-brick constructed segmental arch above it with a black painted stone lintel below it. Above the porch there is also a segmental arch that is still visible today.

The Hotel is listed as being occupied by Evan Phillip in the 1951 census. 

The hotel was redeveloped in the 1960s/1970s with the addition of a single-storey rear extension and small porch to the front. Because of of changes over the decades, apart from the front and north elevation, most of the architectural detail has been lost to these more recent redevelopments.
