GV II

Small house, c.1600, altered in C19 and C20. Timber framed, plastered, thatched roof. 3 bays aligned NW-SE, aspect SW. Original axial chimney stack at SE end of middle bay. Early C19 chimney stack at NW end. Lean-to extension to NW, with corrugated iron roof, C19 lean-to extension to NE with slate roof, c.1972. Single storey with attics. One C19 cast iron casement window in NW extension, plain boarded door, 3 C20 casement windows, 2 more in eyebrow dormers. Timber frame partly exposed internally. Jowled posts, arched braces rising from corner posts to tie beams and wallplates, trenched inside studs. Original floor in NW bay, axial beam with lamb's tongue stops. Floor in middle bay probably inserted early in the life of the building, axial beam with lamb's tongue stops, joists supported on pegged clamps at sides. No evidence of unglazed windows. Chimney stack apparently reduced in depth, front to back. Partition between middle and NW bay is of exposed studding, with wattle fixings in sides, one original plain doorway through. At first floor level a doorway has been inserted through the tie beam, strongly framed to resist tension, and later blocked. This building has been divided into 2 cottages in the early C19, with an extra door inserted and later blocked, now re-combined into one dwelling. The SE end of the roof may be hipped or half-hipped originally, but this is now covered by continuous thatch to the next house.
