GV II
Farmhouse, including rear courtyard walls, gate-piers and gate. Early C19. Painted rubble walls, rendered at the front. Fairly steep grouted scantle slate roofs. Brick chimneys over the gable ends of the front range. Cast-iron ogee-section gutters. Plan: Irregular U-shaped plan: double depth house at the front; integral service wing at right angles behind the left-hand side and probably slightly later service wing at an angle behind the right-hand side. The house and both rear wings are built over the basement cellars. House has wider front room on the left and smaller room (probably parlour) on the right with cross passage between leading to stair flanked by shallow rear service rooms. Left-hand service room is lit from a gable-end window, the other service room is lit by a small window in the rear wall close to the rear doorway. Left-hand wing is 2 rooms deep plus single-storey lean-to; right-hand wing is one room deep plus single storey outbuildings and the rear courtyard which gets wider towards the rear, is closed at the rear by a low wall with narrow gateway. Lower left-hand wing extends beyond this wall and its rear basement or ground floor room is an integral coachhouse. Exterior: 2 storeys over cellars. Slightly irregular 3 window north-west front with doorway right of middle, 2 windows left of doorway and 1 window on the right. Original 4-panel door with flush-headed panels. Original 12-pane hornless sashes on right of doorway and to ground floor left of doorway, otherwise later C19 horned copies. Other elevations are unaltered and the openings have old door and windows. Interior: Not inspected but is possibly unspoiled like the exterior. Rubble rear courtyard wall has round-headed granite monolithic piers and simple C19 wrought-iron gate.
