Description
Cornfield House and the attached cottage are located in Bransdale. The house was built in 1827 and later extended, while the cottage was added in the mid-19th century for William Moon. The front of the house features herringbone-tooled sandstone, with diagonally tooled sandstone at the rear, and has a pantile roof. The house originally had a single-cell, lobby-entry layout, with a later extension to the right and a service wing added at the back. The cottage has a central-entry plan.
The house is two stories tall with three windows, while the cottage is 1½ stories with two windows on the front. The house has an off-centre door with eight recessed panels beneath a divided overlight. To the left of the door is a 20-pane sash window, and the other windows are 16-pane sashes. All windows have stone sills and vertically tooled lintels. There is a raised oval panel in the centre of the door lintel inscribed with "WILLIAM MOON 1827." The house features coped gables, shaped kneelers, and end cornice stacks.
The cottage has a board door beneath a divided overlight, flanked by 16-pane sash windows with stone sills. It also has similar windows in the gabled half dormers and heavy lintels over all openings. The right side of the cottage has a coped gable, shaped kneeler, and an end stack. Inside the house, the ground-floor room to the right contains a square stone fireplace with moulded jambs and frieze, roundels, and a flat shelf.
