GV II
Small house. Early/mid C17, with some late C19 modernisation. Mixed construction; stone rubble side walls and timber-framed front, partly exposed framing, partly plastered and lightly blocked out as ashlar; right end stone stack with rendered chimneyshaft and pots; slate roof. PLAN: Small one-room plan, with secondary service extension to rear. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys; single-window front. Late C19 modernisation respecting style and much of the fabric of original C17 front. Jettied at each floor level. Plastered ground-floor level has original oak doorframe to left, multiple moulded surround with large carved stops (now painted). Late C19 canted bay to right, casements without glazing bars but alternate panes filled with a pattern of attractive painted panes of leaded glass. All jetties have plain plastered soffits and ends of joists hidden by front boards. Exposed C17 framing on first floor, moulded rails and muntins around small panels and blocked 2-light ovolo-mullioned windows each side of central canted bay in same style as that on ground floor, except for C17 brackets carved as bearded men with breasts and with contemporary chip-carved timber panels between the brackets. Second floor plastered with similar canted bay and plain shaped brackets. Jettied attic contains small casement with glazing bars under full-width gable with crossroof back to main gable-ended roof running parallel to the street. INTERIOR: Shows largely the result of C19 and C20 modernisation. All structural timbers are plastered over and the fireplaces are blocked by secondary grates. The only C17 feature exposed is a short length of timber screen immediately inside the front doorway - late C17 with full-height bolection-moulded panels.
