Description

Corner Farm is a house dating from the late 17th century with later alterations. It features a rendered timber-frame construction and a thatched roof with a central ridge stack. The building has a two-unit lobby-entry plan and is single storey with an attic. The central entrance has a 20th-century door flanked by two-light casements, with two-light dormers above. On the left end, there is a small single-storey lean-to extension with a pantile roof. The right end has a two-light casement on each floor, and there is a single-storey wing at the rear, also with a pantile roof.

Inside, tall panel framing is visible, and there are winder stairs located before the stack, which is likely a late 18th-century rebuild. The right room features a large open fireplace, along with doors leading to two small service rooms and a chamfered bridging beam. The left room has a later fireplace, but a small original bressumer is still visible. On the first floor, the room above has an early to mid-19th-century fireplace, with the bressumer for an earlier one also visible. The roof retains a simple collar rafter structure, and there are old plank doors. This house is a somewhat altered example of its type.
