Corsenside

CORSENSIDE is a house dated 1686, located off the A68 in Corsenside. It is constructed from random rubble and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has two wide bays and an almost central doorway. The doorway has a flattened triangular head and a chamfered surround. The left window on the ground floor is a 19th-century replacement, while the right window has had its sill lowered in the 19th century. All original windows are slightly recessed within chamfered reveals, with remnants of mullions visible in the right window on the first floor. The top floor has two-light windows with chamfered mullions, and the right window on this floor retains one original iron bar. There are small square chamfered attic windows on both returns and a similar window in the left bay outshut at the rear. The house has a gabled roof with two gable stacks, which are 19th-century additions on older bases. Inside, there are old beams and a 17th-century stone fireplace. A 20th-century single-storey addition on the right return is not of special interest.
