II

Detached house. Late C18. Flemish bond brown brick with red dressings; limestone; brick chimneys; Welsh slate roof. Three- storey. Front: central pedimented break forward without fenestration on upper floors has round arched recess; stone cornice with blocking course. Single-window fenestration to outer parts of facade with 16-pane sashes having brick flat arches. Broad stone band at impost level to central arch and lower narrow band, both cut by windows. Off-centre gabled porch addition appears C19 with round-arched doorway. Hipped roof with ridge- mounted brick chimney having ashlar bands. Ends: central round- arched recess and stone banding as to front; no windows. Parapet- mounted chimney at north east end. Rear: central pedimented break forward but no arch; fenestration 1:2:1, all 16-pane sashes except centre right 12-pane sashes, producing curious asymmetry. Interior not inspected. Recorded as a clothier's house, but design is unusual and would suggest a more specialised use, possibly in connection with the once nearby Bridgend Dyeworks, since demolished. Documentary sources provide conflicting information. (N.M. Herbert, 'Stonehouse' in V.C.H. Glos. x, 1972, pp 267-289; J. Tann, Gloucestershire Woollen Mills, 1967; and D.
