Description
The Corner House is a house that may date back to the late 17th century, with a 19th-century addition and 20th-century alterations. It features a timber-framed structure with plaster and a plastered plinth, along with painted flint and brick dressings. The roof is covered with red pantiles, and there is a gault brick stack. The building is designed in an L-shape and has two storeys and one storey. The main entrance to the street has been blocked in the original building and relocated to the north range. There are two horizontal sliding sash windows on the ground floor and two on the first floor. The house is included for its group value.
