GV II

House, formerly divided into 2. C15, C16 and C17.
Timber-framed and rendered; old plaintiles.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, attics and cellar; a main range and a
tall 2-bay jettied cross-wing. The main range (on south) has a
tripartite small-paned sash window, in a heavy flush cased
frame with moulded frieze and cornice, to the ground storey,
and a 16-pane sash window above in a moulded flush frame with
a C19 timber drip-mould over. A flat-headed dormer with a
small-paned 2-light casement window. Plain door in a wooden
surround.
The jettied cross-wing also has a single window to each
storey: a 16-pane sash in a flush cased frame to the ground
storey, a similar 12-pane sash to the upper storey and a
2-light casement window to the attic. Both the upper windows
have C19 timber drip-moulds.
INTERIOR: the cross-wing is basically medieval with
widely-spaced substantial studding and main posts with small
solid braces to the chamfered ground-storey ceiling-beam.
Assembly marks on the timbers. In the partition wall are
diamond-mullioned housings and a cut tie-beam. Extra main
posts, which have very long mortices and may be re-used, were
added in the C16 to raise the roof, an unusual alteration to a
medieval cross-wing.
The attic has the remains of a plain crown-post, braced to the
collar-purlin only. The main range is a complete rebuild of
the later C17; joists to the ground storey ceiling set on
edge.
