GV II

House, now museum. Late C17, restored C20. Painted rendered stone with ashlar dressings; roof of pantiles with brick chimney. End passage plan. EXTERIOR: single storey and attic, 2-window range. Step up to renewed boarded door at left in shallow recess. To right of passage door a small fire window high in wall; label mould over this and over 2 casement windows with 3 renewed lights which have lattice leading. Dormer rises from eaves and has 3-light mullioned casement under high gable with side corbels to coping. Roof has tall renewed chimney to right of door. INTERIOR: not inspected but noted to have fire beam which can be seen approx 1m in front of left cross wall with joists continuing across it. A survey of 1972 with drawings of 1977 shows the interior to have 2 units and suggests that there was once a third to the north of the cross passage. It shows a stair at the rear wall with access from the passage and from the principal room; two first-floor rooms; roof with principals morticed and tenoned into the tie beam, with a purlin carried on the projecting ends of a collar; tied by spurs to the walls; plated collar yoke carries diagonally-set square ridge piece. The survey suggests this is a regional transitional stage between the cruck and the tie beam truss.
