II

House, divided into four dwellings. Early C18 subdivided in mid-late C19. Red brick. Flemish bond, on plinth with moulded brick upper edge. Modern plain tiled roof with wood modillion eaves cornice; end parapets on kneelers. End and ridge stacks. Original lobby entry plan, altered when the house was subdivided. Two storeys and attic with band between courses. The dormers have been removed. Symmetrical first floor facade of five c20 wood cross frame casements in original openings under gauged brick arches with tuck pointing. At ground floor the original lobby entry doorway is now blocked and paired doorways inserted, each with a porch of red brick and black mortar courses, and tiled roof with steep end parapet on shaped stone kneelers. Chamfered segmental outer arch. Two doorways off each porch lead to the dwellings. Three ground floor windows in original openings under similar gauged brick arches with fine tuck pointed mortar courses. The west gable end has limestone quoins. A blocked gable end attic window had a stone with the date 1659 incorporated in the blocking. This may be the date of house but the brickwork suggests a similarity with early C18 houses in Haddenham eg no 68 Hill Row, dated 1735 (qv).
