GV II
Small house. Circa late C16/early C17, C20 renovations. Whitewashed rendered cob
and stone; thatched roof, half-hipped at left end, hipped at right end; axial stack
to right of centre.
Plan: Single depth range, 2 rooms wide with a lean-to at the left end and a C19 brick
rear outshut. The house may have originated as a 2 room plan building with a heated
room to the right, an unheated service room to the left. The partition between the
rooms was removed in the 1970s. The unheated room to the right is probably a post
C17 addition.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4 window front with a circa C19 plank front door
to right of centre with a porch hood. C20 casement windows with diamond leaded
panes.
Interior: The heated room has a large step-stopped crossbeamm and a scroll-stopped
half-beam in front of the stack. C20 steel girder on site of former partition
between the unheated and heated rooms.
Roof: 2 complete side-pegged jointed cruck truss over the left end. A second truss
may also have been a jointed cruck with the feet removed and the principals dressed
off. The apex of each truss is not smoke-blackened.
