Description
Corsica Cottage and the adjoining cottages are a house and outbuildings dating from the late 17th century, with early and mid-18th century features and a 19th-century extension. The main house has incised painted stucco over red sandstone rubble, with the left end bay made of painted 19th-century brick. It has a Welsh slate roof with lower courses of sandstone slates and coped gables, along with 20th-century brick chimney stacks. The central outbuildings feature cobble walls on a painted plinth with flush red sandstone quoins, a steeply pitched Welsh slate roof with a bottom course of sandstone slates, and brick chimney stacks. The outbuilding to the right has cement render over clay, with part of the front wall made of 20th-century brick, and a steeply pitched Welsh slate roof with brick chimney stacks.
The main house is two stories high with three bays, and there is a single-bay extension to the left under a common roof. To the right are two former houses, each two stories and two bays, and to the extreme right is a single-storey, three-bay original house. The main entrance features a plank door in a painted stone surround, and there are sash windows with glazing bars in painted stone surrounds. The end bay has a 19th-century sash window beneath a painted lintel with a painted stone sill, and a 19th-century Yorkshire sash window above it. The central outbuilding has plank doors, one of which is in a quoined surround, and casement windows in original 18th-century painted stone surrounds. The original house has undergone extensive 20th-century alterations, with the rear wall featuring a door and windows in 18th-century surrounds. Inside, there is one pair of full crucks.
