Description
Corner House is an early 19th-century house located on a street corner in St Martin, Newtown-in-Meneage. It features serpentine and elvan rubble walls with dressed granite sills and shallow brick arches above the openings. The roof is hipped and covered with grouted scantle slate, with a brick chimney on the left side wall and another over the rear party wall on the right. The house has a two-room plan, with a larger room likely serving as a kitchen and living room on the right, and a staircase behind a former central cross passage. It is two storeys high and has a nearly symmetrical north road front, with a doorway slightly left of the middle that contains a 20th-century door. The original windows are 16-pane hornless sashes, except for a horned copy on the ground floor to the right. The right (west) side wall retains original sashes on both the ground and first floors. The interior preserves much of its original carpentry and joinery. Corner House occupies a prominent position near the Prince of Wales Public House and is one of the least altered houses in the village.
