GV II

A pair of buildings, now linked into a complex group. C16 & C17 core, with C20 alterations. Timber-framed and rendered; part plaintiled, part pantiled roofs. No.64 has a front range of one storey and attics, set gable-on to the street with fluted bargeboards. A lean-to addition along the south side and a single-storey C19 brick extension beyond it, part now containing the entry to No.63 (qv), which adjoins on the south. A 2-storey rear range is parallel to the street. No.65 is also set gable-on to the street: EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, attic and cellar and a single-storey lean-to along the north side. Matching pierced and fluted bargeboards to the main roof and the lean-to. Extensive C20 rear extensions. The 2 gabled ranges are linked along the street frontage by a single-storey section with a pitched plaintiled roof. The windows, irregularly spaced across the front, are all in the same style: 2-light early C20 casements with transoms, square leaded panes and wood hood-moulds over. INTERIOR: an extensive cellar below No.65 has partly flint, brick and stone walling and a heavy main beam with joists on edge; rear extensions to the cellars in the C19 are in brick, but one old brick and flint wall runs east-west. Modernising of the interior has left no original features exposed; main beams boxed in. The front range of No.64 has only cambered tie-beams exposed. A rear range,not inspected, parallel to the street, is part of this complex but is not accessible from the front of the building, and may well be of interest.
