Description
Corner Cottage consists of two cottages built in the 18th century, with a 19th-century extension on the right. The cottages are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and feature a plain tile roof. They are single storey with an attic. Originally, the structure had two cells, with the end bay on the right (No. 2) being an addition. The central entrance to Corner Cottage has a board door set under a segmental arch, flanked by casement windows. No. 2 has an additional side entrance and a further casement window. The cottages are topped with three gabled dormers that have casements and bargeboards. There are stacks at the gable end of Corner Cottage and another stack located between the two cottages.
