Description
Corner Cottage, Manor Place, and the cottage attached to the southwest on Church Street form a group of three cottages with origins in the 17th century, reshaped and extended in the early 19th century. The cottages are constructed from ham stone ashlar and feature hipped Welsh slate roofs with wide eaves overhangs and brick chimney stacks. The building has a 'T'-plan layout, is two stories high, and consists of five bays, with the first bay projecting.
The windows are chamfered mullioned and set in recesses under square labels, with three-light windows above and four-light windows below, except for the upper bay one which has a two-light window. All windows, except for that in bay one, have cast-iron diamond lattice. The lower bay two features a boarded door with glazed panels, set into an almost triangular four-centred arch with a traceried fanlight under a square label and traceried spandrils. The southwest gable has a single-bay flat-roofed extension behind a parapet, which includes a three-light lattice window above and a boarded door in a four-centred arch below.
The northeast elevation (Corner Cottage) has four bays; bay one contains a boarded door with an inserted light under a plain concrete hood on wrought-iron brackets, flanked by single-light windows. Bays two and three mirror the front, with lattice remaining in upper bay three, otherwise plain, and between these bays is a boarded door with an inserted light under a concrete lintel. There is also an inserted window to the right of bay three and a two-light window in upper bay four. The interiors have not been seen, but it is reported that there is a 17th-century fireplace and remains of a bacon curing chamber, along with other features. This building is said to represent the former Manor Farm.
