GV II

Farmhouse. Mid - late C17, modernised in C19 and again circa 1980. Plastered cob
on stone rubble footings; stone rubble and brick stacks topped with C19 and C20
brick; thatch roof.
Plan: farmhouse is set below the lane facing north-east. It has a 2-room plan, one
either side of a central through-passage which contains the main stair. Both rooms
have end stacks but the right one appears to be a late C19 insertion. 2 storeys
with secondary lean-to outshots to rear and circa 1980 extension on the left end.
Exterior: main house has a symmetrical 3-window front of late C19 3-light casements
with glazing bars arranged about a central front doorway which contains a late C19
part-glazed 6-panel door under a contemporary hood on shaped brackets. Roof is
half-hipped both ends.
Interior: is largely the result of the late C19 modernisation. The left room
fireplace is blocked. However the ceiling beams of both rooms are C17. Both are
chamfered with scroll stops, the left one is axial, the other a crossbeam. Roof not
inspected.
