Description
Corner Cottage and Toast are 18th century cottages located on Gurnick Street in Mousehole, with their backs facing the road. They are constructed of plastered rubble and feature a slurried slate hipped roof. The buildings are two storeys tall, although they appear as one storey from the road. There are four windows, which include later sashes without glazing bars and one horizontal sliding sash with glazing bars. The doorways are plain. The rear elevation of Toast has two small gables above the doorway. These cottages are included for their group value, along with Foye Cottage.
