GV II
House. C16, C17 and C19. Timber-framed and rendered; plaintiled roof, with a coved modillion eaves cornice. To the south, a 2-storey C19 extension in painted brick with a slate roof. The main house is jettied along the street frontage with the joist ends of the jetty covered by a wooden fascia. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and attics. 4 window range: tripartite sashes with 12-pane central windows and 4-pane outer windows in flush cased frames. The window at the south end has a segmental head to the frame. 3 similar windows to the ground storey. 3 segmental-headed lead-covered dormers have 2-light C19 casement windows. A 6-panel door with a rectangular fanlight has fluted pilasters and enriched console brackets below the jetty. It is approached by 3 stone steps with cast-iron handrails. 3 gabled extensions at the rear with plain bargeboards. The northernmost gable has been extended with a wide semicircular Edwardian bay to the ground storey with 4 sash windows. A smaller canted 4-light bay to the 1st storey has a slate roof. The remaining gables have a random arrangement of small-paned sash windows. INTERIOR: a small cellar with walling including stone blocks, flint and old render, has an original timber ceiling and stone supports to the base of the internal chimney-stack. On the ground storey several Edwardian stone fireplaces. The entrance hall has a panelled dado in Jacobean style but with linenfold panels, some original, but with much Edwardian addition. The main cross beams in the entrance hall do not match, and there is evidence of a former partition. The internal chimney-stack appears to be an insertion. The end ground floor room on the right has full C18 panelling. The southernmost rear wing has a lower ceiling with a plain chamfered main beam and seems to be the oldest part of the house. Stair in 2 phases: the lower stage is early C19, with wreathed handrails and thin column balusters, the upper balustrade has C18 moulded balusters. The main roof has a plain crown-post form with some evidence of alteration, the posts with very heavy braces and at the south end with the collar-purlin at a lower level than the remainder. The centre rear gable has a side purlin roof.
