GV II

Part of house, now house and shop. C16 or earlier, altered in C18 and C19. Timber framed, plastered, roofed with handmade red plain tiles. 3-bay crosswing, formerly part of a hall house facing NW, of which the remainder now comprises no. 140 (Gages) (item 8/207, q.v.) to the left. C18 external stack to right, plastered. C19 2-storey lean-to extension with slate roof to rear, and C19 stack beyond, enclosed by single-storey lean-to extension of painted brick with slate roof. 2 storeys and unlit attic. 2-window range of late C19/early C20 sashes of 2 lights. Roof hipped at front. The right return has one similar sash, one early C19 sash of 12 lights, and a C20 glazed door to the shop. Entrance to house at rear. The ground floor has a blocked hearth, and an C18/19 moulded plaster coving. Panelling is reported to be present, concealed by the fibreboard lining of the shop, but this could not be confirmed at time of survey, November 1986. Frame mainly concealed. Chamfered post visible at left rear corner, studding visible in stair to attic. Crownpost roof ceiled to the collars, with axial bracing. The collar-purlin has separated from the rear crown stud, and a C20 post has been inserted to support it. Some original wattle and daub infill in rear gable. Limited access to roof; the front bay is probably altered for the present hip, typically an C18 feature.
