Description
Corner Cottage is a pair of houses dating from the early 19th century, featuring a red brick front and a 17th-century red brick west gable end. The early 19th-century rear extension is built in a chequered rat-trap bond. The roofs are plain tile gable ends, and the building has two storeys and an attic. The front includes two recessed segmental-headed glazing bar casements and two segmental-headed doors. There is some timber framing and a small attic casement on the west gable. The rear extension also has two storeys with two windows; the ground floor has segmental-headed casements, while the upper floor features flat arched casements. A bracketed door hood is present above the entrance.
