Corner Farm

Corner Farm is a farmhouse that has been converted into a private house. It dates from the mid-17th century, with a brick front added to the south and east sides in the mid-19th century. The building was extended to the north and underwent renovations in 1985. It features red brick set on a high flint sill, with timber-framed cross-partitions. The original timber-framed front was likely replaced by red brick in the 19th century, and the eastern gable has been rebuilt. The house has steep old red tile roofs and is a large rectangular structure of two stories and attics, facing south, with a lower rear wing that steps down to the north.

The layout consists of three cells, with an internal chimney and a former lobby-entry plan, where the chimney is located a third of the way from the west end. There are two gabled dormers on the roof slope and irregular fenestration, featuring five recessed sash windows on the first floor and two French windows on the ground floor.

Inside, the farmhouse has exposed posts and ovolo-moulded axial beams with bar-stops on both the ground and first floors. There is a double-ovolo moulded fireplace lintel on the ground floor to the east side of the stack, and a four-centred brick arched fireplace on the floor above. On the first floor, there is a four-centred arched stone moulded fireplace on the west side, featuring double ogee moulding and moulded stops high on the jambs. The roof is a wide-span, four-bay structure with butt-purlins, where a single purlin supports each slope, reinforced by straight wind-braces, and the rafters are butt jointed to the opposing faces of the purlin. The joints are numbered. Closed framed partitions are located on each side of the narrow chimney bay, with slots in the tie-beams for diagonal braces that spring from the former timber-framed front wall. The current stair cuts through an ovolo floor beam on the first floor, while the original stair was likely located at the rear of the chimney.
