GV II

House, possibly originally 2 dwellings, now subdivided as flats. Dated 1873, and attributed to Richard Norman Shaw. Coursed and squared stone to lower storey, timber-framed above, with plain-tiled roof. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys and attic, 4-window range forming continuous band of fenestration on upper floors. Wide pointed-arch carried on corbels to left, with heavy hoodmould and date inscribed in stonework above. Internally, the arch is sub-divided, the left-hand part forming rear entry, the right comprising a doorway giving access to upper storeys. Main doorway to right, a 4-centred archway with mullioned overlight in moulded architrave. 3- and 4-light wood mullioned and transomed windows with leaded upper lights containing some stained glass between the entries. Moulded bressumer above, and strongly jettied outer bays, tiered out over first floor and continuing as gabled dormers. The jetty is coved across the central section of the building, between the projecting gables. Windows are of 4-lights, divided into 2 distinct tiers by heavy transom. Some leaded glazing survives in left-hand window and in narrow side lights of squared oriels. Second-floor windows are of similar style (but no leadwork survives), and attic storey windows are simpler 3-light casements. Heavy axial stack with star-shaped shafts. INTERIOR: not inspected.
