GV II

Farmhouse, formerly with attached barn and shippon, now all one dwelling. Dated 1687 internally; extended, altered, rebuilt and recently restored. Sandstone random rubble (and some C20 brick now faced with rubble), stone slate roof. PLAN: irregular and unorthodox plan resulting from alternate rebuildings at various dates, consisting of a 2-unit domestic range in 2 builds, with the former barn attached and projecting to the left. EXTERIOR: the house is 2 low storeys, 1:1 windows, with a quoined vertical joint between the C17 portion and the addition to its right; the former has a double-chamfered mullioned window of 3+3 lights at ground floor with a king-mullion and a hood-mould (and the left end slightly overlapped by the added farm building), and a 4-light window above with chamfered flush mullions; the addition to the right has a doorway abutting the junction and one altered 3-light casement on each floor to the right, all these openings with plain surrounds. Ridge chimney at the junction (i.e. the former gable). Immediately inside this addition the original gable wall of the C17 portion has a doorway with chamfered surround; and its interior has a rectangular stone fireplace with lintel dated 1687, chamfered beams of dubious authenticity; and a thick interrupted lateral partition wall which is probably related to an earlier phase in the development of the plan. The former barn range has been much altered (with brick outshuts to the front now clad in rubble) but has a segmental-arched opening at the rear. INTERIOR not inspected.
