GV II
Farmhouse. Probably C17, enlarged and altered in C18, further enlarged in C20. Handmade red brick in random bond (etc), with some exposed timber-framing and some knapped flint; red tile roof, brick chimneys. Rectangular single-depth plan on north-south axis, composed of C17 2-unit element at right-hand (south) end, with a single-unit addition to the left, and C20 addition further to the left, plus a rear outshut to the first of these. All 2 low storeys; the earliest part to the right, of 2 bays, has a doorway offset right of centre with a board door in a wooden doorcase protected by a small brick and timber porch with pitched roof; two 2-light casement windows on each floor (the 2nd at 1st floor displaced left, over the porch), and a very large external chimney stack at the right-hand gable with a low front wall of flint and a long tiled offset. The earlier addition (to the left of a staggered vertical joint) has 2 similar windows at ground floor and one above, and a chimney behind the ridge at the former left gable. (The C20 addition to this is not of special interest.) The right-hand gable wall not covered by the chimney has exposed timber framing at 1st floor. The rear has inter alia a full-height outshut to the end bay of the C17 portion, and exposed sill, wall- post, wall-plate and rails in the next bay; in the centre, 2 flint panels with brick lozenges; and some 2-light casements.
