GV II

House in row. Late C18, with mid C19 alterations. Rendered and colourwashed, Welsh slate roof between coped gables, brick chimney stacks, partly rendered. Symmetrical parallel range plan, but the front range has been modified, with no rear slope at its west end. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with attics, 3 bays. Plinth, cornice with timber box gutter on a coved cornice. Sash windows to outer bays, plain below and 12-pane above, in centre a C20 panelled door with square transom-light in plain surround, and above is a blind panel with ovolo mould architrave, impost blocks and keystone. The ground-floor windows have `floating' keystones, and all sills are in stone. Three 2-light C20 casement windows in gabled dormers, with slating to gables and cheeks. INTERIOR: not inspected. The site has been occupied since at least since the C13, when the street was known as Byestewel. The present property was probably rebuilt at the same time as Nos 4 & 6 (qqv), with which it shares some detail; it is set back approx 300m from these adjoining units.
