GV II

House, now used for a dental practice. Early C19 with a C16 core and C18 additions. White brick; slate roof with a modillion eaves soffit and bedmould. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys and cellar. 3 window range, arranged 1:1:1 with the centre breaking forward slightly: 12-paned sashes in plain reveals with gauged brick arches to the 1st storey and smaller 6-pane sashes to the top storey. The ground storey windows have a single vertical glazing-bar. A raised stucco band runs at 1st storey sill level. A central 6-panel door is up 3 steps with a cast-iron handrail: rectangular fanlight and a wood Greek Doric doorcase with fluted pilasters and a cornice with a triglyph frieze. Complex rear with 2 large extensions: an C18 extension of 2 storeys and attic has a mansard roof, two 12-pane sashes in heavy flush cased frames and a similar but much large stair window with a lunette above it. An early C19 shallow-pitched 2-storey gabled wing has walling in random flint and red brick with a brick band and dressings. Original 3-window range to each storey, with a wide central 16-pane sash and two 12-pane outer sashes, one on the upper storey now blank and the corresponding window below covered by a later single-storey range in similar materials. INTERIOR: suggests that the C19 alterations involved making 2 houses into one. Cellar below the east half of the house has a stone doorway, rebated, with a shallow segmental arch, similar in style to that below No.12 adjoining (qv). The ceiling has a massive main beam and joists. In the western half of the house timbers exposed during repairs are now hidden, and the interior has only C18 and early C19 features exposed, with the exception of a large C16 fireplace in the former kitchen which has moulded stone jambs and a shallow 'Tudor' arch. A fine C18 chimney-piece in one ground-storey room with foliated stucco decoration. The early C19 stair in the mansard-roofed wing has bracketed strings, stick balusters and a fine inlaid wreathed handrail. A number of rooms have plaster cornices and the entrance hall walls have a dado with raised fielded panels.
