GV II

House, now factory. Early C18, refronted early/mid C19, and interior of ground floor remodelled early C20 to form factory workshop. Yellow stock brick, Flemish bond, front, steeply pitched old tile roof behind parapet. Double-depth, possibly originally double pile plan, 4 bays with side entrance. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and attics. First floor has 4 recessed 16-pane sash windows under rubbed brick flat arches, first floor sill level stone band, stone parapet coping; ground floor has 4 similar windows. Flank elevation (east) has 3 C19 bell pattern rainwater heads at parapet level. Right-hand rear (north-east) elevation retains single flush set sash window with architrave surround under red brick rubbed flat arch. To roof, 3 box sash dormers, brick chimneystacks at left and right. Dark red brick right-hand (east) first floor flank elevation above cement-rendered ground floor, and part rear red brick first floor. Extensive early-mid C20 single storey factory buildings abut the rear wall, not of special interest. INTERIOR: much altered particularly on ground floor which has been opened out to form a single workroom. Fragments of C18 and C19 panelling and cornices remain around the perimeter walls, and the principal chimneybreasts of the front rooms survive against the outer walls. Around right-hand wall and chimneybreast and along front wall to middle of second window from left, early/mid C19 panelled dado and plaster scotia and reed cornice; left from this point mid C18 deep double cyma entablature wood cornice, panelled walls and panelled upper chimneybreast, though fireplace blocked and surround removed. To right of fireplace is way through to No.32, and right again the cornice to the rear left (west) ground floor room picks up the reeded pattern across its chimneybreast. In rear right (northeast) corner staircase partitioned off. Recessed entrance from east wall; lowest flight of stair rises along rear wall, and turns at right angles to first floor above quarter landing. Open string construction, with nosed treads with carved brackets, curtail tread at foot, fluted Tuscan column newels, balusters of irontwist columns on bobbin urns, with square section plinth and cap blocks, moulded

handrails, ramped to first floor. More elaborate tread brackets and different proportions of balusters indicate that the lowest flight is a C19 reworking of the original mid C18 dogleg plan open well stair which rises above the first floor. This has a panelled dado, with baluster and rail details generally as described above. 2 principal 2-bay front rooms have some C19 features; rear rooms have C18 wood cornices. Attics with much C20 subdivision. Roof not accessible for inspection. SUDSIDIARY FEATURES: front forecourt with early C19 cast-iron railings. Square balusters, with flattened urn finials, curved return end at left to front corner of No.32 (qv), butted to yellow brick curved boundary wall at right, set in Portland stone curb. Second bay from right has gate, now fixed shut.
