A fascinating and very unusual Grade II Listed house, available to the market for the first time in 75 years, offering huge potential for renovation and improvement, all set in large established gardens adjacent to the village church.

The Cross House is available to the market for the first time in seventy five years and is an interesting mix of architectural styles, with a grade two listed brick and timber cottage with stone tiled roof, an adjoining Victorian brick and stone extension and some later 20th century additions at the rear. The house is set in well-established and spacious gardens which offer a good deal of privacy and adjoin the churchyard. Now in need of renovation and modernisation, the house offers plenty of living space which could be adapted to suit a large or extended family, subject of course to any necessary approval.

Historical Note:

The Cross House in Turnastone has had a varied history. It belonged
to the Whitehouse Estate and is known to have been an alehouse as
early as 1743. By 1818 it was a public house known as The Red Cross
Inn with named licensees and continued as such until at least 1862.
Not long after that, there were several medical men listed
Thereafter, the house was apparently rented out on various terms
until the 1930s until a vintner leased the house. Eventually a serious
tennis player moved in and created a flat area in the garden for a
tennis court.
