GV II

Pair of attached houses. c1890. Possibly by H Dare Bryan. Snecked Lias rubble with limestone dressings, brick gable and ridge stacks, slate and tile hip roof. Double-depth plan. Eclectic late Victorian style, with Queen Anne influence. Entrances in the side walls have elliptical arches to battened 2-leaf doors, semicircular-arched overlights, and fluted consoles to cornices; beside them are oval, keyed stair lights. The front outer gables project slightly, and have ground-floor canted bays with Ipswich windows and patterned glazing bars above the transom, and balustraded balconies; first-floor paired elliptical-arched windows with keys, and second-floor 3-light sashes with semicircular-arched heads, a round, central basin in front and a panel above with swag, pediment and a brick and stone relieving arch; top of gable is striped brick and stone, with an oval light and terracotta decoration. The ground-floor inner windows have paired casements below pulvinated frieze and pediment, with stained glass above the transom; above are 2 elliptical-arched sashes, and paired second-floor flat-headed plate-glass sashes. The ground floors are divided by a buttress beneath a pilaster to the coped party wall. INTERIOR: side entrance halls and open-well stairs with turned balusters and square newels with ball finials. The same doors are used on Bryan's other Downleaze houses, for which this may have been a precursor. Included for group value.
