Description

Little Corsbie is a late 18th century, two-storey house with a three-bay front and a rear wing. The exterior is made of painted rubble and features margined windows with raised angle margins. The front is symmetrical, with a central doorway that has an architrave and a modern door. The windows are all single light, sash and case style with plate glass and two-pane glazing. On the ground floor to the left, there is a window with lowered cills and concrete jambs. To the right, there is a single-storey wing.

The house has end skews, corniced end stacks, and tall fluted cans, all topped with slate roofs. The rear elevation includes a projecting gabled roof wing on the right side. There is also a single-storey outbuilding attached to the right return gable, featuring four-pane glazing and slate roofs with end stacks. Inside, there is a staircase located at the centre rear of the main block, and the doors and shutters are good examples of late 18th century craftsmanship.
