GV II

House, late C17, altered to 3 cottages and now returned to one house. Ashlar, thin coursed rubble to return walls and rear which have dressed quoins, stone slate roof with coped gables with kneelers. 2 storeys. Double pile with 3-room front with through passage. Plinth, string course over ground floor windows. All windows are double chamfered mullioned: 5-light window with lowered sill with 5-light over to 1st floor. Inserted doorway with recut door lintel inscribed "1627 RF: MF". (Rachel Foxcroft, Michael Foxcroft). 6-light window with lowered sill, 2-light fire-window, 8-light window over to 1st floor; through-passage doorway with straight lintel with chamfered surround, with 3- light window over to 1st floor; 8-light window with 4-light window over to 1st floor. Right hand return wall has 3-light window to each floor. Rear has chamfered mullioned windows of 4 and 5 lights either side of rear doorway with composite jambs, 7-light window over to 1st floor. Double chamfered mullioned windows of 3 and 4 lights either side of mullioned and transomed stair window of 6 lights. Gable stacks and one other back on to through-passage.

Interior: Wide through passage has inserted C17 oak staircse with finely turned gun-barrel balusters reused from the Manor House, East Hardwick. Rear doorway of passage has Tudor arched lintel with chamfered surround. Housebody has scarf-jointed spine beams, evidence of former bressumer and C17 oak panelling with carved frieze imported from Earlesheaton Hall, Dewsbury when it was demolished. Rear stair in original position has dog-leg and reuses C17 staircase with finely turned gun-barrel balusters. The ground floor rooms have widely spaced floor joists. The north parlour reuses a fine mid C16 oak linenfold panelled door from Earlesheaton Hall, Dewsbury. It would appear that the house of 1621 was of single depth and the internal wall of the later C17 double pile building belongs to the earlier build retaining its original Tudor arched doorway to the rear of the through passage now forming an internal porch. The east end of the house was unheated originally with its own ladder stair to the upper chamber which did not communicate with the rest of the house. This suggests that this end of the house was used for the storage or manufacture of cloth in a wealthy yeoman-clothier's dwelling. RCHM (England) report.
