Description
Long Corner Cottage is a house from the mid-18th century, constructed of painted slate rubble and topped with a graduated greenslate roof featuring rebuilt chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and consists of four bays. There are two 20th-century doors set in plain openings, and the windows are casements with glazing bars in plain reveals. A plaque on the right end wall indicates that the house was given to the National Trust in 1945. It is located next to the rear of Derwent Farmhouse and is listed partly for its group value with that property.
