Description
Church Corner Cottage is a house dating from the 15th century, with a late 16th-century parlour cross-wing on the left. It is timber framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof that is half-hipped to the right. The building has one and a half storeys, while the cross-wing is two storeys tall. It features small casement windows with horizontal glazing bars, mostly from the 19th century. The earlier part of the cottage includes a lobby entrance with a boarded door.
At the junction of the two sections, there is a stack with a plain oblong shaft dating from the 16th to 17th century. The earlier section consists of a service end and part of a former open hall, with substantial square joists and a coupled-rafter roof. The service partition shows traces of sooting. An inserted floor includes an axial bridging beam and quite small plain joists set flat, while the roof over the hall is concealed. In the parlour, there is an axial bridging beam with a large chamfer and chamfered joists. The ceiling of the chamber above is unusually high, indicating that an attic floor may have been removed. Additionally, there are back-to-back open fireplaces on the ground floor.
