GV II
House. Early C16 and C18. Timber-framed and rendered with a parapet and modillion cornice. Tiled roof. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and attics. One window to each storey: a tripartite sash to the upper storey with a 12-pane central light. A lead-covered canted bay to the ground storey with fluted pilasters and cornice has a 12-pane central window and 2 8-pane side windows. A recessed 6-panel entrance door with the top 2 panels glazed and a fanlight with radiating glazing bars in a doorcase with panelled reveals, pilasters and an open pediment. One segmental-headed dormer with a 2-light window. A long rear wing. INTERIOR: there is no cellar. The front range is in two-and-a-half bays, with a partition wall formerly dividing off the half bay. The main ceiling has heavy roll-moulded cross-beams carved on the sides and soffit with variants of folded-leaf motif. The joists have double ogee mouldings and run-off stops. The house was originally jettied along the street frontage. The chimney-stack on the rear wall has a re-set timber lintel cut down in size with multiple mouldings, leaf-motif in the cambered top and ends with simulated window tracery. The brickwork is renewed and resited. This stack links with the long rear wing but no fireplace remains on the ground storey. On the upper storey the rear fireplace has a moulded and cambered lintel with leaf-motif and original brickwork with the remains of red ochre colouring and lining. The front upper room has a main beam with leaf motif and an applied fascia in the same style along the rear wall. The rear wing has a false ceiling to the ground storey, but through a trap door a heavy chamfered main beam and plain unchamfered joists can be seen. The roof has pegged original rafters but no other structure visible. This wing is parallel to and slightly post-dates the rear wing of No.67 (qv): through a gap in the framing the side wall of No.67 is seen to be covered with original comb pargeting.
