G.V. II
House. "WRM 1698" on datestone with bay added in late C18 and single-storey additions of C19 and C20. English garden wall bond brick, C18 Flemish bond and C20 stretcher bond brickwork with stone slate roof. L-shaped plan with 2 storeys plus attics and single-storey stables (now part of house) and garage (C20). 3-bay garden elevation (formerly the front although the porch was removed to the rear of the house in late C19). Stone quoins, first and second floor brick corbel bands, coped gables with kneelers. Bay 1 has a 2-storey canted bay window with stone 4-light mullion window which was added in late C19; a 3-light attic casement window with curved brick hoodmould and relieving arch and decorative lozenge brickwork. The 2-storey porch stood between bays 1 and 2 where there is now a door. 4-light casement windows to bay 2 on each floor with C19 dormer window above. Bay 3 was built later as a bailiff's house and has 2 3-light casement windows with cambered brick arches. The rear of bay 1 has 5 windows with shaped dripmoulds (3 of which are blocked) and 2 others. The re- located porch is in the angle of the L and his a coped gable with kneelers, datestone and corbel band. Interior retains ovolo-moulded beams in the main room, and chamfered beams otherwise with runout stops on the ground floor and stepped stops on the first. A fine example of an early departure from the Medieval and timber-framed traditions which continued in the area.
