Description

Nos 1 to 4 Corner Cottages are a block of four estate cottages, originally built as six almshouses in the mid-19th century. The cottages have brick walls and hipped tiled roofs, with brick stacks spaced along the ridge featuring oversailing caps and arched recessed panels. They are single-storey and have an L-shaped plan.

The elevation facing Pound Lane features a raised gable above a double hipped porch, with lower walls made of brick and upper walls that are glazed, supported by shaped brackets at the eaves. There are two ledged doors, and at the right end, there is a similar single porch with one ledged door. This front has three casements with glazing bars set under segmental arches. A small lower extension is located at the left end, which has a glazed door.

The east elevation has a slightly projecting gabled section in the center, containing one casement with glazing bars and a recessed four-centred arched panel above it. On each side of this section, there are gabled porches with lower walls of brick and upper walls that are glazed, also supported by ornamental brackets at the eaves. The left porch features a crowned "A" in the gable. Both porches have ledged doors beneath four-centred arches, and along this front, there are a total of five casements with glazing bars under four-centred arches. The overall appearance is picturesque.
