Description

The Corner House is a late 18th-century shop and house, with alterations made in the 20th century. It has a rendered facade topped with a pyramidal pantile roof and a brick stack. The building’s prominent feature is its splayed angle where the elevations face The Square and The High Street.

The building is three storeys high. The elevation to The Square is a single bay with flush-mounted 16-pane sash windows. The ground floor has an 8-light shop window with leaded lights. The elevation to the High Street is two bays, with 16-pane flush-mounted sash windows to the right bay and 2-light transomed casements to the left. The ground floor of this elevation also includes a 4-light shop window with leaded lights and a 20th-century glazed door with sidelights and a transom light.

The main entrance is located in the splayed angle between the elevations, and consists of paired half-glazed doors with a transom light. A further door opening provides access to The Corner House from the ground floor of the adjacent Lamb Inn.
