Description
The Corner House is a cottage dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the late 19th century. It features a timber frame with painted brick nogging, which has been refaced in painted brick, and the eaves have been raised to the south during the 19th century. The roof is covered with slate. The building has a baffle-entry plan consisting of two framed bays and is one storey high with an attic.
There is a central brick ridge stack, and to the right, there is a late 19th-century gabled semi-dormer with a segmental-headed three-light wooden casement. The framing consists of square panels, with three panels extending from the sole-plate to the wall-plate. The front of the house has three windows: a central 19th-century three-light wooden casement flanked by two-light casements. Between the first and second windows from the left is a boarded door that has a 19th-century ogee-shaped corrugated iron bracketed hood.
Inside, the house features pairs of chamfered spine beams and chamfered joists. The left-hand gable end has a collar and tie-beam truss with a pair of queen struts and V-struts, while the right-hand gable end contains a pair of possibly re-used 17th-century crucks. At the rear, there is a curious partial jetty on the first floor, which may be a late 19th-century alteration.
