GV II

House at right end of terrace. Early-mid C18. Rubble stone walls, slate roof with coped gables, brick end stacks. 2 storeys. L-shaped plan, with projecting rear wing at left end. Flat band at first floor level. 6-panel moulded panel door, in moulded stone surround, under shallow segmental hood on brackets with ball pendants. Ground floor has two 4-light stone mullion windows with moulded stone surrounds - chamfered mullions with flat fillet. Casements with centre horizontal bar. First floor has two 3-light and one 2-light similar windows. Later, rear range, creating a double-pile plan, with parallel roofs. Rear wing, originally outbuilding, includes a stable and part-demolished barn. Internally, left ground floor room has large open fireplace with curved-timber lintel. Interior much altered, but original roof structure survives with coupled common rafters - no ridge piece. Interesting transitional design - from sub-medieval to classical style.
