GV II


Farmhouse, now 2 cottages. C16 core, subdivided and remodelled in C18. Plastered
cob on rubble footings; rubble and brick stacks; wheat reed thatched roof.
Original 3-room and through passage house was converted into two 2-room cottages
facing north; the right (western) cottage occupies the former hall and inner room,
the left (eastern) cottage, the former passage and service room. 2 storeys
throughout and overall irregular 4-window front, 2 to each cottage. Left cottage
has early C20 casements and central door with C20 slate-roofed porch. Right
cottage has C20 casements with glazing bars on ground floor and C18 3-light
casements to first with slender pine casements and leaded panes of thin glass.
(Another survives to rear). Door with C18 oak bead moulded frame inserted through
former lateral hall stack with still projects slightly from wall. Eaves rise up
from left to right above door. Roof half-hipped to left. Inside left cottage
early features are blocked or boxed in. The former passage doors are blocked by
windows. In right cottage both rooms have late C16-early C17 chamfered crossbeams
with step stops and former inner room includes a section of reset late C17 oak
panelling. Roof apparently rebuilt in C18.
