Description
The Corner House is an early 18th-century house constructed of rubble stone with stone tiled roofs, coped verges, and end wall stacks which have been truncated to the rear wing and south end. A single ridge stack is also present. The house is arranged in an 'L' shape, with one and a half and two storeys. The front range features two dormer gables, each containing a two-light and a three-light mullion window. A small two-light window is found at eaves level, above the front door, and a cyma-moulded doorway is complemented by a two-light window with a hood to the left and a three-light window with a hood to the right. The north end wall incorporates a two-light bead-moulded window beneath a dripstone, with a small upper single light. The south end wall shows a cyma-moulded two-light ground floor window and a three-light upper window. The rear elevation has a projecting wing to the left and a gable to the right. Inside, there is a Tudor arched fireplace backing onto the entrance passage. The building has group value.
