Description
Quaint Corners is a small detached cottage, likely built in the 18th century, with a left section that appears to be a later addition. The cottage features brick walls that may be a facing on cob and has a thatched roof with brick end stacks. It is one storey high with an attic. The entrance includes a ledged door set in a brick porch topped with a gabled tiled roof. On the ground floor, there are three casement windows with horizontal glazing bars, all situated under segmental brick arches. The attic contains two dormer windows with casements that have remnants of lead lights. There is also a later rear extension, likely from the 20th century. Inside, the main ground floor room boasts a large fireplace with a timber lintel.
