GV II

House in row, with shop. Mid or late C18 front, early/mid C16 main fabric. Rendered front, timber-framing, brick rear wing, tile or asbestos-cement roof, brick stacks. PLAN: front block, parallel to street and formerly jettied, is set over a throughway at the right hand end, and has a rear eaves stack, and a gable stack to a fireplace above the throughway party wall. A deep rear wing runs back to the left. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, attic and basement, 2-windowed. Dormer and first-floor lights have been replaced in aluminium. The ground floor has a good early C19 shop front, with bowed 12-pane oriels each side of a central part-glazed door under a multi-pane transom-light, all to a plain fascia with lead dressing over. Under the display windows are blocked cellar openings, and a pavement access. To the right an arched opening gives to the throughway. At the ridge, right, is a cropped stack. The rear wall of the street block has framing with brick infill, and a lofty eaves stack. The rear roof slope has asbestos-cement slates. The gabled wing has a steeply-pitched tiled roof. INTERIOR: the first-floor front room, orginally open to roof has heavy braced framing to the party walls, and wide early floor boards, which have been 'hogged' across the line of the throughway wall beneath, without cracking or breaking. In a back room one of the principal posts is cruck-like. The front roof slope has wind bracing. This is a typical example of an early structure being concealed behind a heavily modified street front.
