GV II

House. Late C16, C17 and later. Part 2 storeys and attics, part 2 storeys; complex form. Timber-framed and rendered with plaintiled roofs. The front range, in 2 bays, has an external red brick chimney-stack on the front wall: stepped sides, plain shaft. Beside the stack, a small C18 gabled projection with a small-paned fixed window. A rear wing has evidence that the roof has been raised, and along the former gable-end is a weather-worn tie-beam with embattled ornament. A further 1½-storey C18 range is now set at right angles against this gable wall, with a chimney-stack between. Some plain timbering exposed throughout the house. The large open fireplaces have their original bricks and mortar. Various casement windows and doors. The middle range of the house, where the roof has been raised, may well be the oldest part of the building.
