GV II

House, possibly with former shop. Early or mid C19. Solid rendered walls. Slated roof. Rendered chimney on each side wall, that to left apparently shared with No.2 (qv); both have round red pots. 2 storeys with garret; basement, exposed to Church Hill East at rear, where the ground falls away. 2 windows wide, with doorway in place of right-hand ground-storey window. Doorway has flanking pilasters and an entablature having frieze decorated with anthemions and other motifs. To left is a wide window flanked by pilasters and having an altered entablature with shaped brackets, probably inserted as a shop window later in C19. Upper-storey windows have 6-paned sashes. Rear wall (facing Church Hill East) has round-arched doorway and window in basement. The lower part of the window appears (from an iron hinge) to have been closed by external shutters originally; the upper part has a 2-light small-paned wood casement. Both ground-storey windows and the left-hand second-storey window have 6-paned sashes. 2 small garret windows under the eaves.
