GV II

Small farmhouse, now house. Probably mid to later C17, perhaps containing some earlier fabric; probably altered in C19, derelict and used as sheephouse in 1980s; recently restored and part rebuilt. Coursed mixed rubble with quoins, stone slate roof. Two-unit gable-entry plan with almost continuous full-height rear outshut. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and 2 windows, with an almost full-width slate course over the ground floor; this has restored mullioned windows of 4 and 2 lights offset to the right, and near the left end an opening like a narrow doorway which may formerly have been a fire-window. The 1st floor has restored 2-light windows over those at ground floor. All these windows have renewed chamfered flush mullions. At each gable is a square stone chimney, both corbelled out but that at the right-hand gable subsequently under-built with an external stack. The left gable wall has a large square-headed doorway offset towards the rear with a drip-course over it (a porch to protect this doorway under construction at time of inspection, 1994), and a recently-inserted 1-light window above. The right-hand gable wall has a small 1-light window at 1st floor to the rear of the chimney. Rear: left (north-east) end has one 3-light mullioned window on each floor, both with broad chamfered flush mullions, and that at ground floor with a stone slate band over it (this window apparently had 4 lights in 1988); to the right, a recently inserted window at ground floor and a small square window under the eaves. INTERIOR: former timber partition to outshut (muntins with tongue-and-groove panelling at ground floor, which survived only in fragmentary state in 1988, wattle-and-daub on plain studs at 1st floor) now mostly replaced with C20 partition and staircase, but a post mounted on a stone base approx. 2 metres from the gable-entry remains, together with a chamfered framing plate at 1st floor, segmentally undercut for a former doorway at its west end. Forms group with bank barn approx. 30 metres south (qv).
