Description
Corner Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century, constructed from rendered and painted stone rubble with a rag slate roof featuring gable ends. It has a stone rubble stack on the right-hand gable end with a brick shaft. The original plan was a two-room layout with a cross passage, where the right-hand room was heated by the gable end stack and the left-hand room was unheated.
The cottage is two storeys high with an asymmetrical front that has two windows. On the ground floor, there is a two-light casement window on the left and a two-light casement in a blocked door opening near the center. The first floor features two two-light casements. An entrance was inserted into the right-hand gable end in the mid-19th century, which also has a 19th-century two-light casement window on the first floor. There is a small single-storey service outshot from the 19th century on the right-hand gable end.
Inside, the cottage retains late 17th-century chamfered belling beams with stops that are now obscured. The fireplace in the right-hand gable end has been remodelled to create a door opening to the outshot. The roof structure was replaced in the late 19th century.
