GV II
Farmhouse, now house. c1700 on older site; altered and extended early C19 and mid-C20. Brick, partly handmade, on chamfered sandstone plinth; hipped shallow-pitched slate roofs with overhanging eaves and rear stacks. Two storeys and cellar, partly with three-course band between storeys. Three bays; central bay is narrow and breaks forward slightly; windows have cambered heads and moulded architraves; outer bays have 20-pane sashes on ground floor and 16-pane sashes on first floor; central first floor window replaced by C20 glazed double doors in enlarged opening. Central entrance has square moulded flat canopy on slender tapered columns, wide panelled pilasters, panelled reveals and soffit and half-glazed double doors. Above the canopy is an ornate wrought iron balcony. Interior: noted as having retained its C19 ceiling mouldings and dog-leg staircase. Adjoining the left side elevations are the truncated remains of an original large external chimney with offsets. Large range projects to rear left. The left and central bay of the front range and the left part of the rear range is all that survives of the older house. The right bay was added in the C19 to provide a symmetrical front elevation and at the same time the roof was altered and reduced in height and the rear range was extended. The farmhouse was originally part of the Grafton Manor (qv) estate.
