GV II

House. Probably C17 or earlier. Rendered cob with a thatched roof gabled at the
left end, hipped at the right end. Left end stack with brick shaft, rear lateral
stack with brick shaft. Rear wing with hipped thatched roof.
The plan is probably a 3 room and passage house, the lower end to the left heated by
the end stack, the hall heated by the rear lateral stack with an unheated inner room
at the right. A rear projection at the left may be a truncated lateral stack which
could have heated the lower end before the end stack was added. The rear right wing
adjoining the inner room appears to be unheated although the 1948 list description
refers to a "large external chimney". Single-storey lean-to to rear of main range.
2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3 window front, the eaves thatch eyebrowed over the first
floor windows. Shallow gabled porch with tiled roof to left of centre. Casement
windows of 2 lights with 2,3,6 and 8 panes.
No access to interior at time of survey (1985). The exterior is very unspoiled by
C20 alterations and internal features of interest may survive, including the
possibility of medieval roof timbers. Group value with Spurway Farmhouse.
