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.
