GV II
House, now divided and in commercial use. Probably C16 with
C19 and C20 alterations and restoration. Timber-framed, the
exterior partly painted over plaster in early C20 restoration.
Close studding with middle rails, and arch-bracing to gables
which have strapwork relief decoration to bressumers. Slate
roof.
PLAN: H-plan, suggesting hall and cross wing form.
EXTERIOR: right-hand gable now forms one unit, with late C19
shop front to ground floor, with dentil moulding to fascia and
central doorway recessed between 3-light windows. Tripartite
first-floor window in moulded architrave, and traces of
earlier timber mullioned window in apex of gable.
Left-hand wing and central range now form a single unit, with
inserted recessed shop front to ground floor, tripartite
windows in gable and centre to first floor.
Some of the timbering has been replastered and painted in
early C20, and the bargeboards with finials also date from
this period. The original timbering has been exposed in the
right-hand gable to reveal 4 bays with central queen strut
truss, the tie beam supported on curved braces, plain tie
beams demarcating the other bays. King post roof structure of
main hall range visible in side wall.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
