GV II

Detached house on rear of burgage plot, formerly 2 cottages. C17 with C19 refronting. Square panel timber-frame with plaster panels, painted Flemish bond brickwork, tile roof, brick lateral stack. A small 2-storey property set with gable to the alley. The entrance front (N) has a small 2-light casement at the first floor, and three 2-light casements, one of these with C18 moulded glazing bars, in a continuous run flanking a plank door. The S side, faced in brick, is 2-windowed, with C20 casements to the first floor, and 4-pane sashes below; centred, at the eaves, is a large brick stack. The gable to the alley, in painted brick, has one small casement, and the opposite gable, in unpainted brick, has some framing in the gable, and the projecting cut-off end of a large spine beam to the first floor ceiling. INTERIOR not accessible, but reputed to have been much modified. An example of the relatively rare building set across the site, rather than parallel with the alley, this must have been a building of substance before the C19 modifications.
