GV II

Small house in row. Late C16, with later alterations. Rendered, with pantile roof and brick stacks. Current layout is one small front room with a passage formed to its left, and a narrower rear room, to the right, to which is attached a C20 extension; the house may have formed part of a larger property originally on the site. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, all late C20 windows; two 2-light casement above broad 5-light with transom. Part-glazed door, far left, in deep reveal. Slight plinth, dying, left, to pavement level. INTERIOR: the ground floor only was inspected, further information taken from VAG Report of April 1986. A narrow passage has, to the right, a thin partition, and at half depth of the building is a large C16 chamfered beam with a run-out stop, which continues across the principal room, with a prop at a junction with a smaller beam at right angles. Also in the passage, in the left party wall is a blocked door opening, to No.28 (qv). The main chimney breast has a C19 fireplace, and there is a narrow staircase to its left. The rear wall of the room is of considerable thickness, but has been opened up to give to the rear room, which also has a thick outer wall. The roof over the main range is late C16 with a cranked collar, butt purlins with chamfers and square stops, and was earlier of narrower span (pitch line of an earlier roof said to be visible, and contemporary with roof in No.28)); over the room in the wing the roof is C18 with tusk tenons to purlins.
