GV II
House, now restaurant. Late C15, altered C18 and C20, when plaster render was stripped and building restored, and otherwise altered. Timber-framed with rendered infill, plain-tile roof, brick internal and rear lateral stacks. 2-unit plan. 2-storeys and attic; 3-window range. C20 door to far left with C20 Tudor-arched head. C20 leaded bay windows to right of door and to ground floor far right. C20 leaded wood mullion and transom windows between them, that to right replacing a door. 2-light C20 leaded casement window to 1st floor. Rendered plinth, close-studded timber frame, jettied 1st floor and braces from end posts to wall posts and tie beam of left end elevation. First-floor end posts have cusped ogee-arched sunk panels with crocketed canopies. Two C20 hipped roof dormer windows. Sun fire insurance plaque No.644298. INTERIOR: stone cellar. Ground-floor room has Tudor-arched doorway with carved spandrels, large stone fireplace with chamfered, Tudor-arched head, hollow-chamfered and moulded spine beam, stop-moulded joists, and moulded cornices. Roof has arch-braced collar trusses, diagonal ridge piece and 2 tiers of purlins, the lower purlins wind-braced. House was sub-divided vertically, probably C18. A cottage, the former King's Head, was demolished for road-widening C20 giving the house a corner position it did not originally have. Front was heavily restored following removal of plaster render and re-windowed in Tudor style, on uncertain evidence.
