Description
Corton Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse that was formerly a manor farm. It features elements from the 16th century, with extensive additions from the 17th century and some alterations made in the 20th century. The building has dressed stone walls and roofs made of slate and stone slate, with stone gable copings and scroll kneelers. A stone stack from the 17th century has been rebuilt at the north gable end, and there is a 20th-century stack at the gable end of the north rear wing. The original range runs north and south, with later 17th-century additions to the east at both the north and south ends. The space between the rear ranges has been filled in over time. The farmhouse is two storeys high with attics.
On the west elevation, there are three windows, and at the south end, two of these are 3-light stone mullions with round heads, moulded jambs, and framing from the 16th century. There is also a 5-light stone mullion window on the first floor, dating from the 16th century. The northern end of the same elevation features a 4-light stone mullion window on the ground floor and a 3-light stone mullion window, both with straight-chamfered jambs. One ground floor window has a label above it. The front door, located on the north wall of the rear wing, is a 20th-century, two-leaf design with multi-glass panels, and it is sheltered by a 20th-century porch with sleeper stone walls and glazed panel sides, topped with a pitched slate roof.
The north wing has a set of 3-light stone mullions with straight-chamfered jambs from the 17th century on the north side, while the south side has wooden casements. The south wing features 2-light mullions in the gable end wall. The south wall of the house was rebuilt in the 20th century after the south range was removed in 1963. Inside, the farmhouse has been largely modernised, but a fireplace lintel dated 1684 is a re-used doorhead from the derelict Corton cottages.
