The Corner House

The Corner House is a detached house dating from the 17th century. It is constructed of coursed and squared lias and Cary stone, with alternating thick and thin courses in places, and has a slate roof with coped verges. The house features ashlar stacks with moulded caps, with a restored central stack incorporating concrete blocks. The building has a cross-passage plan and two storeys plus an attic. It has a 2:2 bay arrangement with 2- and 3-light stone-mullioned windows. The ground floor windows have a central king-mullion, and all have stopped labels. The windows contain iron casements, some of which feature square-paned leaded lights. A studded plank door with iron strap fringes is situated in the third bay from the left. A wing, built in a matching style, extends at right angles to the rear and has an ashlar stack with a pepper-pot cap. The interior contains notable 17th-century features, including fireplaces with moulded freestone surrounds, two ornamental plaster cornices, an ornamental plaster frieze, an overmantle dated 1624, and a 17th-century roof.
