Description
Corner Cottage and Cross View is a pair of cottages that were originally likely one house, dating from the 17th century with 19th-century alterations. The cottages have rendered rubble walls and feature a gable-ended roof covered with asbestos slate and slate. There are three rendered rubble stacks: two lateral stacks located at the front and rear, and one axial stack. The original layout was probably a three-room and through-passage plan, with the lower end to the left. The hall was heated by the axial stack backing onto the passage, the lower room was heated by the front lateral stack, and the inner room was heated by the rear lateral stack. The structure was likely divided into two cottages in the 18th or 19th century at the lower end of the hall. There are also probably 19th-century rear outshuts added behind the hall and lower room.
The building is two storeys tall with an asymmetrical front. Cross View, on the right, has a two-window front featuring 20th-century casements with small panes; the left-hand windows are three-light, while the right-hand ones are two-light. The ground floor windows have slate dripcourses above them, and the first-floor windows are gabled dormers. There is a slightly off-centre 20th-century panelled door beneath a rustic open-fronted porch with a slate roof. Corner Cottage has a one-window front with a 20th-century three-light casement on the ground floor, which has glazing bars, and a 19th-century two-light casement above it in a large gabled dormer. To the right, there is a 20th-century part-glazed door under a wide slate porch hood supported by timber posts. Inside Corner Cottage, there are roughly chamfered cross beams on the ground floor, and the roof, likely from the 18th century, features substantial rough principals with pegged collars.
