GV II

House. Mid C18, raised 1854. Sandstone ashlar with ashlar dressings, and slate roof with gable chimney stacks. Double-depth plan with a rear wing to the left, which may have been altered from a former stable. 3 storeys above a cellar, and 2 wide bays with chamfered quoins, nosed sill courses on the first and second floors and a moulded eaves cornice. All the openings have moulded architraves. The windows have large 16-pane sashes, and the doorway has a recessed door with fielded panels including a concave-sided hollow diamond in the lower half, an upper glazed panel, and an overlight with glazing bars forming a pattern based on a pointed oval. Because of the sequence of raising the party walls to accommodate an extra storey, the top storey appears to be offset about 50cm to the left, overlapping the gable of No.10 (qv), which has only 2 storeys, and overlapped in its turn by the front wall of No.6 (qv). INTERIOR: reeded architraves to doorways. A dogleg open-string staircase with stick balusters and mahogany handrail, up to the first floor, with a rib-vaulted ceiling at landing level. An earlier staircase from the first to the second floors, not continuous with the first staircase and perhaps moved upstairs when the house was raised, with 2 slender turned balusters per tread. HISTORY: the title deeds include a plan and notes for 'taking down a part of this dwelling house... and built and reared the additional height, Nov. 3rd 1854'. The earliest deed, of 1753, is a mortgage by Thomas Mackrel, barber and peruke maker, who had inherited a moiety of 'one messuage or dwelling house, one maltkiln, one stable...etc'.
