Description
Corton Cottages are a pair of semi-detached cottages that have been combined into one house. They date from the early 18th century, with an early 19th-century cottage attached to the left. The cottages are built from dressed limestone and rubble stone, featuring brick dressings and a thatched roof with gable-end brick stacks.
The building is two stories high and has four windows. The right-hand cottage includes a four-panelled door set in a gabled porch, with a two-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement on either side and two additional casements on the first floor. The left-hand cottage has a central planked door and two two-light casements on both the ground and first floors. The right return features a two-light casement on the first floor and attic, along with a 20th-century flat-roofed extension attached to the ground floor. The rear of the building has various casements on both the ground and first floors. The interior was not accessible during the survey conducted in May 1985.
