GV II
House, now divided into 2. C17 core; C19 front, restored in the later C20. Timber-framed, fronted in C19 red brick; plaintiles. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and attics. 2 window range: 16-pane sashes in shallow reveals with stucco flat arches and stone sills. No.8 has a similar, but slightly larger 16-pane sash to the ground storey and No.9 has an inserted 3-light late-C19 lead covered flat canted bay, the main window with vertical glazing-bars only. A stone band runs between the storeys and there is a slightly recessed rendered blank panel between the 2 upper windows. 2 segmental-headed dormers have 2-light casement windows with horizontal glazing bars. Paired central entrance doorways have semicircular stucco arches and blank fanlights. 2 C20 doors. 2 rear chimney-stacks. Although fronted in the mid-C19 in the same style as Nos 6 & 7 (qv) the slight differences in roofline and level indicate that this was formerly a separate house. INTERIOR of No.8: On the ground storey a main post at the front is evidence of a former jetty; one main post of the original rear wall survives and a chamfered ceiling beam. In the front upper room studding with tension braces, main beam and wallplate are exposed. Both upper rooms have ornate cast-iron grates. Attic with roof in 2 bays; straight collars, rafters covered. A blocked door in the partition wall on the east. The west wall is part of the adjoining house (No.7) with the end of a collar purlin protruding. Access to No.9 not possible.
