GV II

Shops with accommodation above, original use not known. Probably late C13 or C14, extended probably C19. Timber-frame, rendered front, gault brick rear wing. Slate roofs with gabled ends. Brick gable end and axial stacks.

Plan: original short front range, parallel to road, may have been an open hall or had a chamber open to the roof, unheated or with a stack originally (roof not smoke- blackened). Rear wing added or rebuilt probably in C19 but with circa late C17 north end.

2 storeys and attic. 2-window front. C20 shop front with high fascia. C19 4-pane sashes on first floor in moulded architraves. Moulded eaves cornice. Two late C19 or C20 gabled dormers. Long wing at rear with casements and 3 9-pane sashes.

Interior: C19 joinery on first floor. The large splayed scarf wall-plate and studs of the rear wall are visible at rear in roof space. The original unblackened roof structure is intact and comprises large common rafter couples; the pegs on the tops of the collars suggest it was a crown-post roof.
