GV II

House, now hall and office. C17, refronted c1720, part of attic removed and re-roofed mid C19 to form first-floor hall. Limestone rubble and ashlar dressings, ashlar gable stacks and slate roof. Double-depth plan. 2 storeys and attic; 3-window range. Coped gables with moulded kneelers. Central doorway with dressed surround and bracketed flat canopy, ashlar plinth, with squared, coursed rubble to upper wall. 6-panel door with 3-pane overlight. Raised ashlar surround to square ground-floor windows, blocked to the left, a 6-pane window to the right, and tall C18 6/9-pane sashes with thick bars. Left-hand gable has an ashlar plinth, blocked central doorway with ashlar jambs, traces of former steeper roof; timber lintels to paired ground-floor horned 4/4-pane sashes, flush first-floor 6/6-pane sashes in exposed frames, and a small attic casement. INTERIOR: details include on the ground-floor a C17 left-hand front dogleg stair with oak risers and treads which rises around internal wall, 4 heavy chamfered and stopped axial beams and a large right-hand fireplace with bressumer; first floor has original left-hand bays with axial and lateral ceiling beams with 3-inch chamfers and run out stops, and early C19 small rear dogleg stair with stick balusters to the attic, which has a collar truss 3-bay roof; longer left-hand section has a C19 king post roof with tusked purlins over full-height hall. The unusual plan form with a large first-floor hall suggests that this was used, at least from the C18, as a parish meeting room.
