GV II

House, formerly a farmhouse. Circa early to mid C17, heavily restored in the late C20. Painted slate rubble. Dry slate roof with gabled ends and asymmetrical gable end to the 2 storey front porch. Black glazed ridge tiles. Rendered stacks projecting gable and stack at lower left hand end, projecting rear lateral hall stack with set offs and tapered shaft. Plan: 3-room and through passage plan the lower end to the left (south west) heated from a gable end stack, the hall has a rear lateral stack and the inner room to the right has a loft above with access from an external stair on the gable end. At the front of the passage there is a large 2- storey porch with an integral stair turret to the right rising from the hall. At the rear of the lower end a shallow 2-storey unheated wing raised in the late C20 with a gable. Probably in the late C19 the through passage was widened by moving the lower side partition to create an entrance all with a C19 staircase at the back. The C20 alterations included the rebuilding of an outshut behind the hall stack and extending the first floor accommodation into the loft at the higher right hand end. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4-window range. Various small window openings with slate cills and large ground floor windows with new wooden lintels. All C20 and 3-light casement. Very large 2-storey porch to the left of centre with an asymmetrical gable and cambered brick arch doorway with a C20 2-light casement over the slate weathering in the gable above. the inner doorway has a wooden lintel and what is probably a C19 plank door with wrought iron hinges. The corner at the higher right hand end is rounded. External stone steps to the loft doorway in the higher right hand gable end. Rear Elevation: A shallow wing to the right has been raised by the addition of a gable and a late C20 outshut has been built in the angle to the left enclosing the hall's lateral stack. Asymmetrical fenestration of late C20 casements. Interior: The hall has a chamfered cross-beam with hollow step and bar stops. The hall/fireplace has replaced lintel. There is a stone newel stair in the integral turret beside the park. The through passage has been widened by the moving of the lower side partition to create an entrance hall which contains a circa late C19 staircase at the back. The lintel of the lower end fireplace has been replaced. The wall between the lower end room and the shallow rear wing has been removed. The roof structure has been entirely replaced in the lat C20 except for the roof over in the loft over the inner room which is probably a late C19 structure.
