GV II
House. Mid C19 including C18 part to rear. Stucco with Ham Hill stone dressings, slate roof with stone copings, moulded kneelers and stacks to gable ends. Double-depth plan with original service extensions to front and rear left, and a long wing to the rear right. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; virtually symmetrical 3-window range to main block, with narrow window inserted to left-of-centre, on the first floor. Pilasters to moulded kneelers. All windows are 6/6-pane horned sashes in eared architraves with bracketed sills, except the inserted one to the first floor which is vertically 2/2-panes. To the centre is a narrow set-forward gable with stone pilasters and coping, which has a large projecting porch with an entablature supported by square-section columns with segmental arches between, and a window above. The right return (south) has 2 windows to the first floor, the left one is blind, and one to the ground floor, all in plain surrounds. To the left of the front facade, the single-storey service wing steps forward to the street, the wall sweeps up to the house with a door to the house-keeper's room facing toward the porch (west). The rear of the main block has a conservatory with margin panes to 2/2-pane sashes, and a loggia to the right rear wing, facing east. INTERIOR: The large entrance hall has an open-well open-string staircase, turned balusters, swept mahogany rail and curtail-step. A passage to service wing ends with 2 curved doors, one to the housekeeper's room, the other to a rear kitchen which has an C18 stone fireplace with a patent spit-turner, indicating that this was once part of the older Doniet House (qv) attached to the rear. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: Spearhead railings with urn finials, with a gate, enclose the forecourt. Attached to the north-west corner of the house is approx 2m of a low limestone rubble wall or plinth with c1860 spearhead railings. These are attached to gate piers to Doniet House (qv) with moulded plinths, chamfered corners, moulded cornices and shallow swept caps with balls, flanking double wrought-iron gates with plain rails and a horizontal scroll band along the middle. The railings to the right are c1800 spearhead and sweep down in steps to a matching gate, and meet a high rubblestone wall attached to the north-west corner of Acacia House (qv).
