GV II
House, formerly with 2 shops. C18 front; late C15/early C16 interior, with possible earlier core and C19 addition. Timber-framed and rendered; plaintiled roof with a wood modillion eaves cornice. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, attic and cellar. 2 window range: two 2-light casements to the upper storey with a single glazing bar in heavy flush frames. On the ground storey the remains of 2 different early C19 shop window surrounds with pilasters and cornices and replaced C20 windows. A roof-light in the front slope of the roof. The recessed central door is half glazed in a moulded architrave with a flat cornice hood on shaped brackets. The roof of a C19 2-storey rear range tops over the front. This has flint lower walls and timber-framed upper walls, now all roughcast rendered. One 12-pane sash window in a flush cased frame to each storey. INTERIOR: a small cellar below the front is vaulted in C19 red brick. Interior in 2 bays. The left hand ground storey room has a fine timber ceiling with heavily moulded beam and joists and an applied cornice with rudimentary folded leaf ornament. There is no evidence for an underbuilt jetty and the ceiling is higher than in the adjoining room, suggesting that it may have been inserted into an earlier structure with an open hall. The original partition walls have been removed and all timbers in the rest of the house are concealed; the roof is inaccessible. The entrance door leads into a cross entry position which may well be original.
