Appraisal
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.
