GV II
Small house. Mid C19. Plastered stone rubble; end stacks with exposed and plastered brick chimneyshafts with pots; slate roof. PLAN: Double-depth, 2 rooms wide with central passage and rear staircase. Secondary service front doorway to right, to passage to unheated rear service room. Principal rooms to left. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; 2-window range. Plastered front is lightly blocked out as ashlar with flanking end pilasters. Main front doorway right of centre with moulded stucco surround and console brackets to moulded entablature; recessed door of 2 vertical panels under an overlight with glazing bars. Service doorway to right has door with small top-glazed panels and 2 vertical panels below. Ground-floor window to left in shallow bay; flanking round-headed panels and moulded cornice. First-floor windows have small shoulders to flat arches and moulded architraves with keystones. All windows are horned 4-pane sashes. Plain eaves to parallel roof, gable-ended to left as it steps up the hill. INTERIOR: Surprisingly good for such a small house. Top-lit stair rises round a wall but manages to include mahogany handrail and stick balusters. Principal rooms have moulded plaster cornices and panelled doors (inner porch door with coloured glass in margin glazing). There is no original kitchen and it is unusual for such a small house to have a separate service entrance, indicating that it was possibly built as a holiday cottage. One of a group of similar small houses and listed buildings at the bottom of Ridge Hill.
