GV II

Farmhouse and cottage, now all one house. Three builds, the first probably mid to later C17 and the last probably earlier C18 (window lintel dated 1717); altered. Coursed rubble with quoins, stone slate roof. Linear single-depth plan on east-west axis facing south, 3 units, the earliest at the east end and the latest at the west end; with 2 rear outshuts. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and 6 windows, grouped 2:2:2, with a vertical joint between the 2nd and 3rd of these. The earliest portion at the east end has a square-headed doorway offset left, with a monolithic lintel, a 2-light casement each side and a 1-light fire-window to the right, three 2-light mullioned windows at 1st floor (all with renewed flat-faced mullions), and a large corbelled chimney at the gable. The centre portion has a gabled porch to the left with a low square-headed outer doorway, a square 10-pane sash at ground floor flanked by rectangular 6-pane fixed windows, a pair of square 8-pane sashes at 1st floor offset slightly left; and a large square chimney on the ridge at the junction with the east portion. The portion to the west of the porch has a stone slate drip-course, a square 6-pane and a low oblong 10-pane fixed window at ground floor, both with monolith lintels and the latter inscribed "G / L E / 1717", 2 square 8-pane sashes at 1st floor (that to the right with the lintel of a formerly wider opening, like that below); and a gable chimney to the left with a triangular stone slate cap. Rear: built partly back-to-earth; 2 outshuts under catslide roofs. INTERIOR: 2 very thick lateral partition walls, that between the centre and west portions with a window at attic level; 2 lateral beams in eastern portion, the second of these formerly a smokehood bressumer, with original joists; re-built stone staircase mounting up rear wall of this room; series of narrow lateral beams in western portion, and C18 cupboard built into rear wall of this room. East portion has 2 roof trusses made of re-used timbers. HISTORICAL NOTE: the eastern portion was originally a 1-unit 2-storey house, similar to Blands (qv), Blea Beck (qv), Roantree (qv) and West Stonehouse (qv): a type characteristic of this dale in the later C17.
