GV II
House. Early C19 with later C19 extensions to each side of the
front. White brick to front, red brick to rear; slate roofs
with a paired bracketed eaves soffit.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and cellar. The house is in 2 parallel
ranges. 4 flat pilasters are spaced across the centre front
and a brick band runs between each storey and below the eaves
soffit. 3 windows to the centre front, all 12-pane sashes in
plain reveals. A central 6-panel door has a plain rectangular
fanlight and an Ionic porch with fluted columns.
The slightly lower extension on the left has a blank wall; the
extension on the right (formerly No.17A) has 2 large-paned
sash windows to the upper storey and one to the ground storey.
A 4-panel door with the top panels glazed has a fanlight with
radiating glazing bars in a semicircular brick arch with plain
reveals. The back wall is faced in mid-C19 red brick, probably
over an earlier core, with a good canted bay on the south
side. 12-pane segmental-headed sash windows in plain reveals.
INTERIOR: cellar below part of rear range has walling
including kidney flint and stone blocks. A small extension
contains C19 wine bins. The principal ground storey room in
the rear has a good plaster cornice with egg-and-dart and
bead-and-reel ornament. The south side of the front was
extended c1900 in a style matching the earlier interior with
ornate plaster cornices; this doubled the size of the ground
storey room to the left of the entry. The extension to the
right of the entry was in a plainer style. Stair in entrance
hall with stick balusters, bracketed strings and wreathed
handrail.
