GV II

Merchant's house, later used as a toll house, now commercial premises with residential accommodation to upper floors. Probably late medieval but altered in the C16, C17 and later. MATERIALS: dressed granite with granite dressings to part of front, otherwise render, on probable timber frame to upper floor; steep bitumen-grouted slate hipped roof. PLAN: single-depth plan plus rear extension and very deep old rear wing at right angles right of through passage. There used to be a passage at 1st-floor level linking this building to the Ship Inn, Trafalgar Square (qv) but this was removed in the C20 to allow taller vehicles to pass. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys; irregular fenestration. 1st floor has wide C16 or C17 granite mullioned window with central king mullion and hoodmould, frame and king mullion rebated possibly for external shutters, all with hollow chamfers and with C20 leaded glazing; leaded window towards left is the opening which was formerly the doorway into the 1st-floor passage over the road. 2nd floor has pair of windows left of centre and single window on the right, all C20 horned sashes with glazing bars. Ground floor has mid C19 shop front to centre with 6-pane shop window and C20 door on its left; (20 6-panel door in doorway right of shop window and a C20 shop front at far right under a timber lintel. Open passageway at far left has C17 ovolo-moulded plank and muntin partition on its left. INTERIOR of ground floor has no other visible features of interest. Other floors not accessible at time of survey but there are likely to be original or old floor and roof structures of interest. This building retains some visible early features and must be considered in its relationship with the Ship Inn (qv) to which it was formerly linked across the narrow street by means of a 1 st-floor passage acting as a kind of gatehouse to the town. This relationship greatly enhances its interest and importance. (The Buildings of England: Pevsner N: Cornwall: London: 1990-: 71).
