Description
The Corner House and the tea rooms at No.3 are a pair of houses that have been converted into shops. They date from the early 19th century, although No.3 may have origins from the 17th century. The buildings are likely made of brick, now covered with render, and feature a plinth and a stone-coped gable on the right side. They have a slate roof with brick ridges and end stacks. The structure is three storeys high and has a three-window layout with a double-depth plan.
No.1, known as The Corner House, is on the left and features a 19th-century part-glazed door within a glazed shop front bay that has a pilaster surround and a shallow moulded hood supported by consoles. The first and second floors have a tripartite sash window, with the second floor window still containing its original panes.
No.3, on the right, has a 20th-century part-glazed door with a flat hood supported by consoles. To the left, there is a 19th-century shop front bay with original glazing bars. On the right, an early 19th-century canted bay contains a 16-pane unhorned sash window at the front and a moulded hood. The first floor has 12-pane sashes with 20th-century fabric hoods on both sides, while the second floor features 9-pane sashes on both sides.
At the rear, No.1 includes an 18th-century stone range, which is now rendered on the first floor. The ground floor and the rear gable end of the first floor have 20th-century windows, with part-renewed cross casements on the left side of the first floor and two 19th-century dormers. Inside, No.1 has chamfered spine beams in the 18th-century range and the rear of the early 19th-century range. No.3 features a chamfered spine beam and an open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer, along with a winder staircase to the left.
