Corner House

Corner House is a house dating from the mid-18th century. It is timber-framed, with a plastered facade designed to resemble ashlar masonry. The right gable end is roughcast rendered, and the roof is pantiled, with glazed black tiles at the front. The house has two storeys and an attic.

The front facade features three bays and a coved eaves cornice. The first-floor windows are original sash windows with heavy glazing bars; the windows on either side of the central window are framed by eared architraves with raised triple keys. The central window has a semi-circular arched head with raised springers and a key, flanked by plain stuccoed consoles. The ground-floor windows are late 19th-century sash windows with four panes. A fine original Doric doorway features fluted pilasters, an entablature with triglyphs, and a dentil cornice, leading to a six-panel raised and fielded door. Two gabled dormers are present. There is an internal stack.

A one-and-a-half-storey rear wing extends along Water Lane. The interior contains re-used timbers from the 16th and 17th centuries. On the ground floor, there is an 18th-century recessed cupboard with fluted pilasters and a keyed arch.
