GV II

House. Late medieval origins, probably remodelled in the late C17. C19
refurbishment. Repairs in progress at time of survey (1987). Whitewashed rendered
cob and stone rubble; thatched roof, hipped at right end, gabled at left end, front
right stack (shaft dismantled) 2 rear lateral stacks.
Plan: Single depth, 2 rooms wide with a passage between, the right hand room divided
axially into 2. The origins of the house are a late medieval open hall house, open
from end to end, the medieval roof structure and thatch still largely intact. The
C17 modernization provided a hall, to the left, heated by the left hand rear lateral
stack and a lower end to the right which was probably the kitchen. Honeysuckle
cottage, adjoining at the left may have been an inner room parlour added at this
date. The right hand (lower) end was subdivided in the C18 or early C19, giving a
small heated parlour to the front and a rear right service room.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Approximately symmetrical 3 window front with regular
fenestration. C19 panelled front door to passage in a C17 or C18 chamfered doorframe
with a flat porch hood. C19 or C20 3-light timber casements with glazing bars, one
small additional first floor 2-light casement with glazing bars. The right return has
a blocked first floor doorway, suggesting a former use for storage.
Interior: The left hand room has a chamfered scroll-stopped crossbeam, fireplace
with a plain timber lintel. The front right room has a cob corner stack (shaft
dismantled), C19 dado panelling to the passage.
Roof: Thickly-sooted side-pegged jointed cruck trusses, all the original collars
except one removed; threaded purlins, diagonally-set ridge. The sooted thatch
survives, virtually complete, with an unusual arrangement of twisted withies between
the battens.
A traditional house of medieval origins. The surviving thatch and roof structure
are of special interest.
