GV II
Detached house. C17 and mostly mid C18. Flemish bond brickwork street front, rubble or course rubble elsewhere, slate roof. PLAN: a symmetrical central staircase hall front unit, with 2 deep gabled wings; that to the left of the C18, and to the right, C17, part of the earlier house on the site. EXTERIOR: storeys and attic, 3 windows; 3 flat-roofed dormers with 2-light small-pane casements, moulded cornice and returns over slate cheeks, above 12-pane sashes in plat band architraves with small projecting keystone. Central 6-panel part-glazed door in Doric half-columns with fluted necking under frieze and cornice, all on 1+4 stone steps with nosings. Alternating flush stone quoins, slight cornice, rendered blocking course and coping. Left return gable has a 12-pane sash in surround above a C20 casement, and in the lower projecting wing are 2-light casements. The rear gable and the right return are plain rubble. The early wing, with a brick stack, has a steeply pitched roof, and is separated from the later wing by a narrow courtyard. INTERIOR: considerably modified, some of the features being in C18 style. The entrance hall on a stone floor has trompe l'oeil painted fielded panelling, and the dogleg stair has thin turned balusters and a polished handrail. There are various 6-panel doors. The flanking rooms have window shutters, and the windows are set to deep, full-height recesses; the right room has two C20 painted metal columns inserted to modify its proportions. Fireplaces said to be insertions, and dentil cornices are late C20. The kitchen, in the C17 wing, has rough transverse beam, with stopped chamfers. An interesting case of the fashionable use of brick for the main facade in a predominantly stone building area. (RCHME: Dorset, South-East: London: 1970-: 369).
