The Corderries

The Corderries is a large detached house that dates back to the 17th century, with significant alterations and enlargements made in the mid-18th century, along with early 19th-century modifications. The building is constructed of coursed, squared limestone, featuring ashlar chimneys, and has a roof made of artificial stone slate and concrete tiles. It is two stories high with a parallel-roofed rear range.

The front of the house has a three-window arrangement, although the masonry indicates that it originally had a five-window front. Currently, all the windows are early 19th-century tripartite sashes, with the central window on the upper floor being Venetian in style. The central doorway is framed by reeded architraves and leads to a six-panel moulded door, which is flanked by side windows that have diagonal glazing bars. There is a moulded cornice, likely from the 18th century, topped by a later plain parapet. To the left, there is an end wing that is slightly set back, featuring blocked tripartite openings on each floor. The gable end chimneys have paired shafts with moulded caps.

On the south end, there are tripartite sash windows on each floor of the wing. The rear of the house consists of a parallel range divided into two parts; the left side has sash windows and a rebuilt chimney mounted on the eaves, while the right side features stone mullioned three-light windows and timber casements on the ground floor, a small early 19th-century Tudor arched upper floor casement, and an unusual chimney breast that runs diagonally across the wall.

Inside, the house was mostly refitted around 1830, with doorways that have Regency architraves. It is believed that the house incorporates much of a smaller 17th-century building, which underwent extensive alterations during two major rebuilding campaigns. The property also includes a small weaver's house, a coach house, and an alcove seat within its extensive grounds.
