Description
The Corner Stores is a house and shop located on Turvey High Street, dating from the late 17th century or 18th century, with extensions and alterations made in the 19th century. The building is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and features a 19th-century roof made of banded fishscale and plain old clay tiles. It has an L-shaped plan with an additional bay added to the west of the gabled wing.
The building stands two storeys tall. On the south elevation, the gable end displays scalloped-edge bargeboards and a drop finial. The first floor features two 3-light casement windows, while the ground floor includes a 3-light casement window in the gabled wing and a double-fronted shop with a reeded door surround. The added bay to the west has a 2-light casement window on each storey. There are two ridge chimney stacks; the main stack has paired ashlar flues with a moulded string course and cornice, while the second stack is a simplified brick version.
