GV II

Pair of houses, now office and flats. Early C19. Granite ashlar, roof concealed but probably slate. Irregular plan on triangular plot, but presenting a square facade. Classical style. Three-and-a-half storeys and 4 bays over a full service basement; the symmetrical facade imitates some features of Palladian design, with giant pilasters to the 2 upper floors rising from a string course, (but there are only 3 of them, one at each end and one in the centre), a plan frieze, moulded cornice, and panelled parapet interrupted by 4 short balustrades. The basement, expressed as a plinth, has one 12-pane sashed window to each part; the raised ground floor has a doorway at each end, with recessed door and panelled reveal, each approached by parallel steps protected by wrought-iron ramped railings in which alternate bars are waved and decorated with scrolls (matching railings protect the basement area), and 2 large tripartite sashed windows with glazing bars; the upper floors have 12-pane sashes and square 6- pane sashes; and all these openings have splayed voussoirs and keystones. Interior:the principal rooms at ground floor have moulded plaster cornices (but are now partitioned), and there are various C19 decorated cast-iron fireplaces, and a Cornish range and washing boiler in the basement.
