GV

II House, now divided into two properties. Medieval origins, reworked C16, C18 and C19. Originally timber framed construction, parts recased, rebuilt and added to in brick. Colourwashed roughcast render to exterior. Clay tile roofs.

Original open hall block runs north-south, retains hipped roof to south, and is two storeyed (floor inserted C16). Widened C18 and C19. Later cross-wings project to west and east, mostly two storeys, C19 one to north of two storeys and attics.

No. 1 is entirely mid-C19 addition, with single storeyed gable to LH and two storeys and attics gable to RH. Mullion and transom windows throughout. No. 2 contains original building. Has three two-storeyed gables of varying proportions. LH one is C16, apparently originally jettied but built out in C19 and 2 storey canted bay added. Other 2 are C19, one with 2 storeyed canted bay, other with early C20 single storeyed ballroom block projecting from it. Canted bays have mullion and transom windows. Between 2 LH gables is early C20 2 storeyed hipped porch with mullioned windows to first floor and double oak doors in moulded surround. Red brick chimney stacks rebuilt C19 with linked octagonal flues, a multiple one at junction with C19 block, an integral double one to original rear wall of hall block. Similar stacks to the various projecting rear wings. Interior: attic retains one moulded crown post from original roof structure, and another moulded post reused from elsewhere. Ground floor retains substantial C16 spine beam with simple moulding.
