GV II

House. Early C18, altered early C19. MATERIALS: smooth squared and coursed limestone with Ham Hill stone cornice, parapet, rusticated quoins, moulded architraves with keystones, doorcase and plinth. Slate roof with brick stacks to gable ends. PLAN: 2-unit through-passage plan. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; symmetrical 3-window range. All windows are early C19 8/8 sashes except those to the basement which are 3-light stone mullioned. Curved railings and steps sweep up to the 6-panel door, which is set in a Tuscan-style door-case with pediment. INTERIOR: the central stairhall has large stone slabs spanning the width; to the rear right of it is an oak, open-well, open-string staircase with a turned newel, swept rail and coved plaster back to each tread. Architraves are early C18 and some original 6-panel doors remain. A fireplace to the first-floor right has an early C18 wooden architrave with a richly moulded cornice; the landing has wide oak floorboards, otherwise the interior is of early C19 character with enriched reeded cornices, elliptical arches to the hall and right-hand rooms and reeded moulding on the panels of most doors. The roof structure has 2 sets of main rafters, suggesting that the roof has been raised and outer walls rebuilt; it has 7 bays, the outer ones are trenched and wedged, and the common rafters are jointed over the purlins. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: piers with moulded cornices and pyramidal caps flank a coursed limestone rubble wall which supports pointed railings with a double gate at the centre and a single one to the right; these have long/short railings. Approx 40m of high rubblestone wall to the left encloses the garden.
