Description
The Cornersway Cottage is a house that likely dates back to the 17th century. It is constructed from rendered and painted stone rubble and cob, topped with a rag slate roof that has a hipped end on the left and a gable end on the right. The right gable end features a large projecting stone rubble end stack with a stone rubble and brick shaft.
The cottage has a single depth two-room plan, with a small unheated room on the left and an entrance that probably leads directly into a larger hall-kitchen on the right, which is heated by the end stack. There is a small 20th-century extension on the left end.
The exterior is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front elevation. It features two 19th-century two-light casements flanking a 20th-century plank door, with another 19th-century two-light casement located on the first floor. The interior has not been inspected.
