Description
Corona Cottages are a late 17th-century cottage, altered in the 19th and 20th centuries, and now comprising two dwellings. The structure is timber-framed, with plastered walls and a thatched roof. The cottages are four bays long, aligned approximately north-south, and feature two axial chimney stacks facing west. A 19th-century lean-to extension at the rear has a slate roof. The windows are mostly 20th-century casements and glazed doors, along with three further windows in dormers topped with corrugated light alloy. The interior retains plain-chamfered axial beams with run-out stops, as well as exposed joists.
