GV II
Probable former staging post,now used as house & office. Probably 1836, refenestrated circa 1988. Roughcast; gabled slate roof; end stacks with brick shafts and old pots. Plan: Double depth plan, 2 rooms wide,with central carriageway. Exterior: 3 storeys and cellar. Originally symmetrical 4-bay front. Central carriagway and flanking doors treated as one composition. Segmental-headed archway to centre with a moulded arch carried on brackets with slender engaged shafts with capitals below and small carved heads (probably secondary) on the jambs. Pair of ledged and braced boarded carriageway doors with segmental arched heads. Above the archway a fascia and moulded cornice, which breaks forward over the flanking doorcases. These originally had pilasters with sunk panels, moulded consoles and an entablature; guilloche frieze over the lintels; reveals panelled with roundels; doors also with roundel panels; right hand doorway and door somewhat altered. Ground floor window right is a C20 plate glass shop window with small panes above the transom. All the other windows: one to ground floor left and 4 first and 4 second floor are, unfortunately, top-hung plastic windows. These are in the original embrasures and the number of panes is the same as the original early C19 timber sashes that were replaced: 16-pane to the ground and first floor; 4/8-pane to the second floor. Interior: Only partially inspected: original features seen include panelled doors and an early C19 plaster cornice and other features of interest may survive. Extensive stabling and coach-houses existed to the rear but were demolished when Newcombes meadow, to the rear, was made into a municipal park. Union Road was cut through in 1836.
