Description
The Corner House is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century and further changes in the 20th century. It features a timber frame set on a sandstone plinth with brick infill and has Welsh slate roofs. The south front is finished with pebble-dash render and weatherboarding in the gable. The building has an irregular plan, originally L-shaped but later encased in additional structures, with a west gable-end stack and another stack to the east. The entrance is located on the south side.
The house is two storeys high, with the south front displaying a gable end of the wing to the left that has two 19th-century windows: one three-light casement window and one two-light casement window. To the right, there is a similar three-light window. A gabled canopy shelters the porch, which has a panelled door. The timber framing is exposed on the west side, showing three square panels from the mid-rail to the wall-plate, while the ground floor is constructed of sandstone rubble.
