GV II

Two houses, now one public house. Early C18 and early C19, altered C19 and late C20. The principal element is the early C19 building forming the left half. Coursed and squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and quoins, plus random rubble sides and rear. Slate roof with gable chimney stacks. Double-depth plan with the doorway to the right, and rear extensions. 3 storeys above a basement, and 2 bays. All the openings have raised plain surrounds. The second floor windows are sashed without glazing bars; the other windows are late C20 replacements of similar appearance, but with top-hung casements. The doorway is up a flight of 6 steps parallel to the front wall. To the right, the earlier element is of 2 (formerly 3 low) storeys, rendered with a composition tile roof. It was recently altered at ground level by the insertion of a large tripartite window of 2+6+2 transomed lights, incorporating the doorway at the right-hand end. The upper floor has only one small 3-light casement window immediately below the eaves.
