Corsley House

Corsley House is a detached house dating from the mid-18th century, substantially rebuilt around 1820 for Nathaniel Barton. The main part of the house is limestone ashlar, likely from the 19th century, while the front facade is of coursed rubble stone from the 18th century. It has a Welsh slate hipped roof and ashlar stacks with moulded cappings. The design is of the Greek Revival style.

The main front of the house is a two-storey, five-window arrangement from the early 19th century. A central, three-panelled door is set within a portico with reeded columns and a frieze featuring lion masks. There are two 15-pane sashes flanking the door. A plat band runs along the first floor, above which are five 12-pane sashes. Pilasters incorporating a Greek key motif and a stele run up to the cornice and frieze of the parapet, which has a shallow pediment.

The right return has a two-storey bow window with 15-pane sashes on the ground floor and 12-pane sashes above. To the right are two tripartite sashes; the first floor has three segmental-headed sashes, with matching pilasters to the front. The left return retains the original 18th-century facade, featuring a central planked door with a flat stone hood supported on brackets. To either side are three-light mullioned and transomed casements, with an additional window to the left. The first and second floors have three further mullioned and transomed windows, and cross windows above the entrance.

A two-storey service range is attached to the left, again in a similar style with leaded mullioned casements and a balustraded parapet. A picturesque 19th-century cottage is attached to the left side, featuring a door with four fielded panels and 2-light casements with wooden hoodmoulds. It has a double-gabled front with bargeboards.

The rear of the main house has 12-pane sashes, and there are 20th-century flat-roofed extensions.

The interior of the original 18th-century section has lower ceilings, 6-panelled doors, and window shutters with fielded panels. The 19th-century range contains an open well staircase with a cast-iron balustrade and a moulded wreathed handrail, similar to that at Sturford Mead. The hall floor is of diagonally laid marble. Ground floor rooms feature 6-panelled doors within moulded architraves, moulded plaster ceiling cornices, and the dining room has a shallow barrel-vaulted ceiling with moulded plaster ribs ornamented with animals, and an Adam-style fireplace. The first floor also has plaster ceiling cornices, and doors within reeded architraves. It is believed that the same architect was responsible for the rebuilding of Corsley House and the construction of Sturford Mead.
