Cornhill House

Cornhill House is a house that has been converted into shops. It dates from the 18th century and was refronted around 1810. The building is constructed from Ham Hill stone ashlar, with coursed rubble at the base. It features a double-pitch roof that is hipped with slate at the front and tiled at the rear, topped with stepped stone coping. There are brick stacks at the gable ends and along the ridge.

The house has a double-depth plan with a lower gabled rear range from the 18th century. The exterior is designed in the Regency style and consists of two storeys with a three-window range. A cornice and blocking course run across the facade and its returns. The slightly projecting outer bays have 3/3-pane sashes on the second floor and 6/6-pane sashes on the first floor. The central bay on the second floor has a 3/3-pane sash flanked by 2/2-pane sashes. Below this, there is a shallow bow window on the first floor featuring a tripartite sash with 6/6 panes, supported by a long balcony with Regency-style ironwork. This balcony is flanked by 6/6-pane sashes and has a continuous cill-band. The corners of the balcony are supported by Tuscan-style columns, though only the damaged left-hand column remains; the center is supported by a canted bay shop window.

At the far corners of the ground floor, there are remnants of banded rustication topped with a platband that continues along the returns. The left return on the ground floor has a former 5-light hollow-moulded stone-mullioned window that has been altered and now includes an inserted vent; the first floor features a labelled hoodmould over a 20th-century casement. The rear range is lower and older, made of squared coursed rubble with 6/6-pane tripartite sashes under wooden lintels on the left side.

Inside, the ground floor has been altered, while the upper floors retain an early 19th-century style with late 19th-century modifications. The main room on the first floor includes a late 19th-century white marble fireplace and stiff-leaf decorations on a reeded cornice, along with reeded panels on a six-panel door. To the left on the second floor, there is a mid-19th-century register hob-grate. The rear range has also been altered.
