GV II

House, now two dwellings. Mid C16, extended by one bay early C19, and again probably later in C19. Timber-framed, red brick, gault brick, painted, and clay bat, roughcast rendered. Tiled roof with original ridge stack of red brick with some rebuilt upper courses. Another stack is now also internal but was at the gable end, probably late C17, and also with rebuilt upper courses. Single range of five bays, including a narrower intermediate bay, with lobby entry and probably an original two storey porch. The plan was extended by one bay at each end in early and later C19. Two storeys. Timber-framing now exposed. Substantial framing with downward bracing in wall frame at first floor. Jowled heads to posts, but rear wall plate in four lengths with scarf joints. Gabled two-storey porch. Tiled and framed, with ground floor framing cased in C16 or C17 red brick. Ogee moulding to middle rail above the original doorway, now blocked, with chamfered surround and three;light fanlight above. The hollow and roll moulding of the mullions are similar to the original windows in the house. Original (floor of planks and three battens with contemporary iron nails. House has two original windows with hollow and roll mouldings. Two similar windows at ground floor. Other windows are C19-C20, and there are several blocked doorways, dating from the time the house was converted to four dwellings. Right hand addition of clay bat, tiled. One bay. Two store?is. One window at ground floor and one C19 with horizontal sliding sash in the end. C19 brick addition to left hand. Painted. Tiled roof. Inside: abutting hearths, one having a large inglenook of brick and clunch. This room has stop chamfered main beam and middle rail forming a cornice. The bay to the right hand, possibly a buttery, possibly remained without a floor until early C19 when the clay bat extension with its grey brick stack was added. The other C16 hearth is smaller and of dressed clunch blocks with some brickwork in herringbone pattern. Some repairs have had to be undertaken at a fairly early date to the front wall plate. In late C17 a small hearth was added to the left hand gable end. This is now internal. The hearth is of red brick, with plastered jambs and is decorated with foliated stenciled patterning probably contemporary. The tiebeam to this end truss was probably removed at this time and a new tie inserted. There is some evidence of disturbance at the joints with the wall plate and the tie appears to be reused. R.C.H.M. West Cambs., mon.(5)
