Corner Cottage

Corner Cottage is a pair of attached estate cottages that were converted into one house, dating from around the mid-19th century. The building is constructed from local stone rubble and features an asbestos slate roof with gabled ends. The right-hand end is adjacent to Langham House, the former school, while the left-hand end has a wooden finial and plain bargeboards that have replaced the original decorative bargeboards. There is an axial stack positioned to the right of center, with a red brick lozenge-shaped chimney.

The original layout consisted of two one-room plan cottages sharing a central axial stack, with back-to-back fireplaces and unheated service rooms in a single-storey outshut at the back. The left-hand cottage is larger, and its gable end wall is not at a right angle to the front. The cottages have been converted into one dwelling, with the right-hand front doorway blocked and the eaves of the rear outshuts raised.

The exterior is one storey with an attic and features an almost symmetrical two-window range. It has original two-light casements with lozenge and diamond-shaped panes, cambered red brick arches, and slate sills. The first-floor windows are set in small gables with plain bargeboards, likely replacing more ornate ones. There are two doorways with cambered red brick arches; the left-hand doorway has a 19th-century plank door, while the right-hand doorway is blocked. A similar first-floor casement is located on the left-hand gable, with a canted bay window below that has similarly glazed casements. The stone rubble outshut at the back has raised eaves, and the roof of the main range extends over to create a catslide. The outshut contains 20th-century casements.

The interior has not been inspected but may still feature simple early 19th-century joinery. Ashprington is the estate village of Sharpham House, and one of these cottages is said to have once been associated with the nearby village school, Langham House.
