Description

Corner Cottage is a former stable block, dating to around 1800 and possibly designed by C. Beazley for C. Hanbury-Tracy. It was later used as a village hall and has now been converted into nine houses. The building is constructed of ashlar on the north face, roughly coursed and squared stone to the sides and south, with a Welsh-slate roof. It is arranged around two courtyards and has a seven-window front with two storeys.

The north front, facing the church, has a plinth. A central archway was later infilled with a boarded door, which leads up one stone step. Above the archway is a string course, a 4-centred arch, and a circular window with a hoodmould. The wall above this rises above the eaves with an open pediment, and a blind circular light with a hoodmould in the gable. To the right of the centre are three arched windows with hoodmoulds on the ground floor; the two leftmost windows have wooden Y tracery, while the others are blind. Above the string course are three circular windows with hoodmoulds, the central one being blind. A moulded parapet sits above. To the left of the centre, the original configuration was similar, but the left window has been glazed, the centre one built up, and a doorway cut slightly to the right, with a boarded door and a rectangular light above, set beneath a flat stone lintel. A hip roof has ridge chimneys set back on returns each side, and a gabled end of the village hall rises above the ridge, off-centre to the right.

The village hall occupies the right half of the first courtyard and features mixed timber and iron trusses. The hall was reportedly in use for services by 1873, during the rebuilding of the church. The building forms a group with the church and Toddington House.
