GV II

House, now divided. C16 or C17 origins, some C18 improvements, much modernised in the C20. Mixed construction; stone rubble front and back walls, exposed to rear and raised with slate-hung timber-framing (to Coles Court), plastered to the front (to Ferry Slip), plastered timber-framed bay and end wall (towards Lower Street); stacks with plastered chimneyshafts and pots; slate roof. PLAN: 3-room plan appears to be largely the result of C20 reorganisation but it may incorporate earlier elements. C18 bay projects forward from left (west) end. The building used to extend further westward towards Lower Street on the evidence of the broken ends of the front and rear walls. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys. Plastered 1:2-window front. Left one-window section is a projecting C18 bay, containing pairs of sash windows on each floor; 16-pane sashes on the ground floor and taller 12-pane sashes to the upper floors, some have fat glazing bars and could date from the first half of the C18. Moulded timber cornices at each floor level and gable above. Doorway of No.2 immediately to right with segmental arch, recessed C20 two-flap "rustic" plank door. 2-window section to right has wide picture window with glazing bars on the ground floor and C20 sashes without glazing bars above. Plain eaves. Left gable-end wall contains a C20 door to No.1 and a couple of C20 windows, and rear includes a couple of C20 sashes with glazing bars in the slate-hung upper part. INTERIOR: Only No.2 was inspected. It is largely the result of the last C20 modernisation, and no earlier features are exposed.
