GV II

House. Early C19. Rough limestone ashlar with slate roof, stepped stone coping with moulded kneelers, and brick stacks with moulded cornices to gable ends and rendered walls to the sides. Single-depth plan with 3 rear wings. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; symmetrical widely-spaced 3-window range. A wide 6-panel door with ornamented semicircular fanlight, is set in a Ham Hill stone classical-style doorcase with a dentilled cornice to an open pediment supported by engaged fluted columns. Above this is a round-arched 4/8-pane sash with intersecting glazing bars to the top, set in a reeded archivolt with a keystone and imposts; windows to the sides are 8/8-pane sashes in moulded architraves. INTERIOR not inspected. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: attached to each side are walls, single-storey height to the outsides, rising in an ogee curve almost to the eaves; that to the left has a wide segmental arch to a carriageway; that to the right conceals a single-storey wing with a 6-panel door below late C19 four/four-pane sash in a moulded architrave. Enclosing the front garden are late C19 cast-iron railings which curve back to the door on a Ham Hill stone plinth; the design of these is based on closely intersecting circles with diamond-shaped finials and bases. The plinth steps down toward the right (west) and double gates of similar design give access to the right wing.
