GV II

House, now 2 cottages. Circa 1500 or earlier, altered in C17 and C19. Timber framed, roughcast rendered, roof thatched. 2-bay hall facing SE with axial stack in left bay, parlour/solar bay to right, service bay to left. Late C17 bay to right with axial stack at left end, and early C19 bay beyond, with C19 stack at left end. Small C20 tiled lean-to extension to right. Early C19 extension at left end, and C19/early C20 wing to rear, and C20 single-storey flat-roofed extension to right of it. Brookslyn comprises the parlour/solar bay of the medieval house and the extensions to right of it; Brooks View comprises the remainder of the original house and extensions to left and rear of it. One storey with attics. Brookslyn, ground floor, 3 C20 metal casements; one early C19 3-light window with wrought iron casement and rectangular leading in a lean-to dormer, and one early C19 2-light window with original saddle bars and rectangular leading, casement replaced, in a lean-to dormer; C20 half-glazed door. Brooks View, ground floor, 2 C20 metal casements; one more in lean-to dormer, and one early C19 3-light casement, much altered, in lean-to dormer; C20 half-glazed door. Brookslyn has in the original bay jowled posts, heavy studding, the doorway to the hall blocked with one inserted stud, plain joists of horizontal section jointed to the binding beam at left with unrefined soffit tenons, lodged on a pegged clamp at the right, softwood floorboards over earlier boards, some wattle and daub infill, and a coupled rafter roof. In the bay to the right the stack is much altered with C20 bricks; there is a chamfered axial beam with lamb's tongue stops, plain joists of vertical section (some replaced with softwood), and original oak floorboards. A fully framed and pegged doorway has been made in the C17 through the end tiebeam of the original house, for access to this upper room. The bay at the right end has plain softwood joists arranged longitudinally. In Brooks View the stack in the hall is fully plastered, with C20 grates each side, forming a lobby entrance; on available evidence it is probably C17, altered at the top in the C19. The C17 inserted floor in the hall has plain joists of square section arranged longitudinally, supported on a pegged clamp. The jowled post at the front left corner of the hall is exposed, the opposite post concealed in a partition; the tiebeam has been severed for a doorway. At the left end of the service bay (originally the end wall of the medieval building) the tiebeam and all studs are missing; the posts have been extended upwards approximately 0.60 metre and additional wallplates fitted at the higher level, The development of this building is that in the C17 a chimney and floor were inserted in the hall, and the roof was raised. Later in the C17 a bay was added at the right end and a doorway made through the tiebeam. In the early C19 a bay was added at each end and the medieval house was divided into 2 unequal parts for use as cottages.
