It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900.

- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for Cornerway Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

The latest one for Cornerway Cottage was lodged in September 2012 at band E and expired in September 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let.
