adjoining north
GV II
House with shop premises. C18 or early C19 with late C19 shop front. Granite
stuccoed with ashlar joint lining, exposed granite at rear. Thatched roof with
half-hipped gable ends. Rendered chimneystack at left-hand end. Internal lateral
stack at rear right with brick shaft.
Rectangular on plan with rounded rear left corner. The original internal plan is
uncertain, but it was possibly a pair of 2-room double depth cottages with a late
C19 shop taking up the ground floor of the right-hand cottage, the shop now
extended in the front room to left. Alternatively it was one house originally with
a shop inserted in late C19 and the doorway to the domestic accommodation moved to
left.
2 storeys and attic. Symmetrical 3-window range. First floor late C19 4-light
sashes in earlier moulded frames. Similar ground floor left-hand window with
unmoulded frame. Early C19 6-panel door to left of centre. Victorian double-
fronted shop to right and centre with fascia and moulded cornice, original glazed
double doors with overlight and flanking canted windows, fluted mullions with
fleur-de-lis capitals and bulbous acanthus bases. Thatched gabled dormer to right
of centre.
First floor right-hand window at rear has reused ovolo moulded wooden lintel.
Interior: rough chamfered ceiling cross-beams in shop. The rest of the interior
including the roof was not inspected.
Including rear yard wall. Tall granite rubble wall at splayed angle enclosing back
yard and facing street at rear.
Externally this building has changed little since C19 and it retains a fine
Victorian shop front. It is unusual in town centres for thatched roofs not to have
been replaced by another material. This building is therefore an important element
in the town centre of Moretonhampstead.
