GV II

Small estate house. Possibly of C17 origins but altered subsequently. Creamwashed and rendered, probably cob on stone rubble; thatched roof with a plain ridge, gabled at ends; rear lateral stack, right end stack. Plan: Single depth plan, probably 2 rooms wide. A C17 moulded doorframe at the left end may be re-sited but, if in situ, suggests that the house may have extended further to the left at one time: the existing house may be the passage, hall and inner of a 3 room and passage plan house, the lower end reduced to an outshut. The present front door is to the right of the C17 doorframe. Exterior: 2 storeys. C20 plank front door to left of centre with a gabled porch hood, C17 moulded doorframe to the left. 2 3-light timber ground floor casements, possibly C19, with small panes, 3 first floor C19 or C20 3-light timber casements with glazing bars. Interior: Not inspected. Said to have no exposed carpentry. Set forward from but adjacent to Vicarage Cottage. At the east end of an outstanding estate village characterized by cob and thatch.
