Description
Corner Cottage is a farmhouse built in 1700, with later alterations and additions from the late 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features a slate roof with overhanging eaves, a wall stack, a gable stack, and two ridge stacks. The building is two storeys high, plus an attic, and has a south-east street front with four bays. The off-centre doorway has a panel door, flanked by two three-light glazing bar casements on each side, all with segment heads. Above the door is a small ashlar plaque inscribed "G : G I : I : N A.D. 1700." On either side of the front are single two-light glazing bar casements, flanked by single three-light glazing bar casements, also with segment heads. Above is a single gabled dormer window with two-light glazing bar casements. To the right, there is an attached brick wall with round coping, and to the left, iron railings that meet at an off-centre 20th-century gate.
