SU 74 SE BENTLEY A31 MAIN ROAD
4/29 Ganwells 31/07/63 II
House. Of earlier origin, but mainly late C18, with Regency details, and mid C19 exterior. Roughcast walls on 2 sides, others being of brickwork with some tile-hung upper walls; roof of tiles. The front (south) elevation is 2 storeys; 4.1 windows. Roof ½-hipped at the west, hipped at the east end. Plain walls, with a high parapet having a thick coping, plinth. Sashes in exposed frames to the 1st floor, the ground floor having coupled French windows, with narrow side panes; the east bay has a sash in reveals above a rectangular bay (with hipped tile roof). The doorway (early C19) has a cornice with modillions and dentils, supported by deep pilasters which are panelled (with diagonal patterns) on each face, ½-glazed door. The east elevation (mid C19) continues the style, with 4 windows; at the rear there are 4 gables (2 ½-hipped) of irregular projection, with mostly C19 details. Inside, the beams supporting the upper floors are C17, and the renovation of the house with Regency feature can be traced; at the rear there is a C18 staircase. Old tie-beams are probably the sole survivors of a pre-C17 timber-framed house.
