GV II

House. Circa early C17 or earlier, remodelled in late C17 or early C18 and altered in circa mid to late C20. Slate rubble, rendered at rear and ends. Steeply pitched hipped roof clad in asbestos tiles. Axial and end stacks with rendered shafts. Plan and development: The house originated as a 3-room and through passage plan, the lower left (south) room and inner right hand room heated from gable end stacks and the hall from an axial stack backing onto the passage. It is uncertain whether the house was originally open to the roof since it was so extensively remodelled in the late C17 or early C18 when the roof was raised, the hall partitioned to form a stairhall at the back and a 2- storey service wing with a lateral stack at the side was built at the rear of the lower left end. In the mid to late C20 an insubstantial single storey outshut was built behind the high end of the house and the partition between the hall and inner right hand room (parlour) was removed. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4-window front. First floor circa early C19 16-pane sashes; ground floor 3 early C19 tripartite (4:12:4 pane) sashes with slate sills and wooden lintels. Doorway to left of centre with C20 plank door and C20 open porch with lean-to roof. Left hand side has projecting stack, C20 casement and sashes and with truncated stack on side of rear wing. At rear small casements, hipped roof wing to right and C20 single storey outshut. Including circa C19 slate rubble front garden area wall with pitched slate capping, corner piers and pair of square gate piers in front of house doorway with concrete caps and C20 gate. Interior: The large right hand room was formed by the removal of a reputedly panelled partition (plank and muntin screen?) between the hall and parlour. The hall part has a boxed-in chamfered crossbeam and blocked fireplace, the parlour has 2 round-headed cupboards flanking the end fireplace with panelled doors. C18 window shutters. The back of hall and parlour was partitioned off and a late C17 or early C18 straight-run open- string staircase inserted behind the hall with splatt balusters, moulded handrail and replaced square newel post; and a plank cupboard door under the stair with wrought iron hinges. The through passage has a fielded 4- panel door to lower end room and a chamfered cross-beam over lower side partition. On first floor there are 3 good circa late C17 or early C18 fielded 3-panel doors and a plank cupboard door with wrought iron hinges, but the other doors are C19. Circa late C17 or early C18 softwood roof structure with collars halved, lapped and pegged to straight principals which have mortice and tenoned apexes and purlins resting on backs of principals. One of the collars is blackened.
