Description

Corner Cottage Tower View is a pair of houses, likely built in the 18th century. They are constructed of roughcast stone and topped with a slate roof. The building stands two storeys high and features three bays, with the third bay designated as Corner Cottage. The windows are sash style, most of which have vertical glazing bars and horns. The first two bays on the first floor have windows with single glazing bars. Each entrance is sheltered by a bracketed flat canopy; the first bay has a half-glazed door, while the third bay has a boarded door. There is a gable-end stack and an additional stack located in front of the roof ridge. The right side of the building has windows with small-paned fixed glazing and opening lights. Inside, the property includes chamfered beams.
