GV II

Detached house. Early to mid C19. Painted brick, low-pitched hipped slate roof. A simple rectangular block in 2 storeys, 3 x 1-windowed; main front has 16-, 12-, and 16-paned sash at first floor above one 4-pane and panelled door under blind fanlight with pedimented pilaster doorcase. Right return has large 16-pane above 3-light casement to wood lintel, and back has 16-pane at first floor, large 16-pane ground floor, and 4-panel fielded door off-centre, right; a further blocked doorway to left. Deep box eaves on moulded brick dentils, large central stack. INTERIOR has been much modified, has lateral stair with stick balusters and swept handrail with 'Doric' newels; from an opening at high level above the upper winders a doorway gives to a steep divided staircase, mostly concealed by inserted tanks and lagging; this stairway bears no relationship to the current plan, nor can it serve a useful roof space, and may be residue from some earlier fabric on the site. The property appears to have been divided as 2 small properties at some stage.
