GV II

House, now 2 shops. C16 - early C17 with C19 alterations. Timber-framed, stone additions, Westmorland slate roof with 4 eaves courses of stone slates. 1 storey with attic, 3 bays. No 85: C20 plate-glass door, shop window and fascia. No 87: C19 surround to C20 door and plate-glass window. Attic lit by small window under eaves (centre), probably an original opening. Large 3-light C20 cross-window on right extends above eaves line. Large brick stack on ridge between bays 2 and 3. Interior: both shops have timber framework visible in attic. The gable ends, rear wall and 2 cross walls survive probably intact. The roof structure compises large cambered tie-beam trusses with queen posts and purlins. Details of ridge and rafters obscured by plaster and boarding, but probably intact. Principal posts of truss cut off approximately 90 centimetres below tie beam level to insert shop window of no 85. The rear wall is close-studded, with probably original infilling of wattle and daub surviving. It now forms an internal wall, with an added aisle under a cat-slide roof at the rear.
