GV II

Pair of houses. Probably late C18/early C19, possibly with earlier origins, with some later modernisation. Mostly plastered walls; side walls are stone rubble but upper part of the front is timber-framed, and front of No.12 is clad with asbestos slate above first-floor level; chimneyshafts not visible; slate roof. PLAN: Similar layouts, one room wide, 2 rooms deep, with left entrance. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys; 2-window range. No.14, to left, has a plastered front lightly blocked out as ashlar and with a reeded timber cornice at first-floor level. At the left end, the end of the stone side wall projects slightly nearly up to second-floor level, surely from an earlier house here. Doorway at the left end contains a C20 door behind a contemporary shallow plastered porch with a monopitch slate roof. One-window front of flush-frame horned 4-pane sashes. No.12, to right, has plastered ground floor with asbestos slate-hanging above. Left-hand front doorway has a fielded 3-panel door under a plain overlight and a timber hood supported on brackets carved as rearing horses (reused oriel brackets from a C17 merchant's house). One-window front of original sash windows, 12-pane sashes to the ground and first floors and a 3/6-pane sash to the second floor. Both houses have a moulded timber eaves cornice to a parallel roof hipped both ends. INTERIOR: Not inspected but likely to be of interest.
