2/110 Gilbrook House, including house 11.11.52 adjoining south-west
- II
Detached house. Circa 1800 but incorporating the cob walls of an earlier building of indeterminate date. Plastered cob on stone footings, the 1st floor timber framed with lath and plaster infill; Kingsbridge slate gabled-end roof. Possibly a 3-room, cross-passage house plan which was completely re-organised and heightened in circa 1800; single depth with 2 later rear wings of brick construction. 2 rear stacks with brick shafts; traces of a left-hand end stack were uncovered during repairs in 1967 (photographs in possession of occupier). 2 storeys. Front: almost symmetrical 5 window range; modillion cornice; 1st floor: three 12- pane hornless sashes alternating with 2 tripartite 4:16:4 pane hornless sashes; ground floor with central doorcase under broken pediment, with pilasters (decorated with paterae), panelled reveals and soffit to round-headed arch; fielded panel door with traceried semi-circular fanlight. Tripartite sash (as above) and 12-pane sash window to left, tripartite sash and another doorway to right. Rusticated quoins, that to the right set back a little from the angle; similarly the cornice does not extend exactly to the right-hand corner. Rear: wings with some sash windows under segmental window arches. Interior: some circa 1800 joinery including fielded panel doors; the main reception room with 2 round-headed alcoves to rear wall. Attached to the house is a substantial cob barn with a pantiled gabled-end roof. One of the front garden walls (forming the rear wall of an adjacent building) is decorated with 6 small, and 2 large brick round-headed recesses.
