GV II

House at end of row, possibly former farmhouse. C17; extensive C18 re-structuring, especially main range to street. Rendered and colourwashed, clay pantiled roof with stepped coped east gable, continuation to west, brick end and intermediate chimney stacks. PLAN: a single depth cross-passage front range, both rooms heated; a straight-flight staircase runs parallel with and immediately right of the passage, and beyond the left-hand room is a smaller room, also with stack. To the rear, left, is a long, lower wing, probably of the C17 or C18, continued as a barn. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, 3 bays, but windows to bays 2 and 3 blocked up, leaving only sills. Bay 1 has 2-light mullioned casement window below and an 8-pane sash window with exposed boxes above, lower bay 2 has a 6-panel door in recess, with moulded architrave and semicircular timber hood over. Plain east gable, with 5-light C20 casement window to ground floor. Lower extension southwards at rear, 3 bays, with C20 doorways below, but above there is a 3-light horizontal -bar casement window of 2-lights to bay 2 and 3-light to bay 3. This range has a coped outer gable, but is hipped at the inner end, facing the roof of the main range; there is large ridge stack near the street end. The rear of the street range has four 3-light casement flat-roofed dormers above two 12-pane sashes and a paired 12-pane with mullion box and to a cambered brick head at first floor. At ground floor is a tripartite 8:12:8-pane sash and a 16-pane sash, separated by a C20 door, the last two under a glazed conservatory. The barn has a hipped roof, part of which continues as a porch to a door at the end of the wing; the barn was largely restructured in the late C20. INTERIOR: the passage is stone-flagged. The right-hand room has an Adamesque fireplace and a deep recess to elliptical head, the left room has chimney breast with blocked fireplace, which is opened to the kitchen beyond. These rooms have panelled window shutters. There are some 4- and 6-panel doors. Under the right-hand room is a basement with a wide segmental brick vault, approached by a straight flight of stone steps under the main stair. The upper floors and the wing were not inspected. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: on the north-east corner of the house a small pedestrian gate, then a pair of late C19 boarded gates with brick gate piers having stone bands and moulded caps. The pavement crossing and the first part of the drive are in granite setts.
