GV II
House, now offices. C17 and C18. Timber-framed and rendered with a plaintiled roof and wood modillion eaves soffit. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, cellar and attics. 6 windows to the upper storey, all 12-pane sashes in flush cased frames. 4 similar sashes to the ground storey with no glazing bars to the lower sashes. 3 segmental-headed lead covered dormers have 6-pane sash windows. The central 6-panel door is recessed and up steps; doorcase with panelled reveals has a Gibbs surround with rusticated architrave and pediment. At the south end, a plain recessed doorway and adjoining heavily framed casement window with upper light. A long rear timber framed and rendered wing of 2 storeys and attics with a pantiled roof has a range of four 16-pane sash windows in flush case frames and 3 gabled dormers along its north side. INTERIOR: a small front cellar and larger rear cellar each have walling of stone, flint and random brick. The front range is in 2 phases, with the left side apparently linking with the rear wing and the right side of later date. The room to the right of the entry has a moulded wood modillion eaves cornice and an ornate plaster centre-piece to the ceiling, which is on a higher level than the rest of the ground storey. The entrance hall has limestone flags with black dots and indications that the stair has been resited. It now leads off one side of the hall: turned balusters, plain handrails, closed strings. A further flight of stairs leading to the top storey has C19 stick balusters and a ramped handrail. To the left of the entrance the layout has been interrupted by the resiting of the stair, but full height bolection-moulded panelling remains in one ground storey rear room and on the upper storey several rooms have the remains of bolection-moulded panelling to dado height. Some timbers are exposed in the rooms at the west end of the wing.
