GV II

Detached Tudorbethan villa. c1830. MATERIALS: Limestone ashlar, slate roof. PLAN: Compact square double depth block, with projecting centre turret to front and rear. EXTERIOR: Three storeys and lower ground floor, three windows, all small two-light casements to front, mostly with glazing bars and with stopped drips, top window in centre turret without drip, and ground floor casement, left, without bars. To right, under pointed arch with roll-mould and square stopped drip, door with glazed panels including pointed head. Each side of arch small pointed lancet. Masonry to ground floor level in turret is pecked, whole front is crenellated over moulded string. Each end of parapet is lofty square terminal with capping, the detail similar to four large stacks, with broad capping-mould and blocking; one of stacks is to left of entrance, others to coped gables. Left return is plain, with one small inserted light, and the right return has two small plain and two small margin pane sashes. Rear, with crenellated parapet, has high attic to right with large steel casement, above three-light casement with drip, and French casements. Centre stair turret also crenellated, with raised shield above pointed two-light casement with intersecting bars, and large pointed two-light with intersecting bars and low transom, to left sixteen-pane dormer above three-and two-light casements with drips. INTERIOR: Not inspected. HISTORY: Located at the upper end of speculative development embracing Nos 1-20 (qv), this house, with No.21 (qv) is probably slightly later than the remainder, and demonstrates the change in style from Neo-Classical conformity to Romantic eclecticism.
