GV II

House, formerly part of Areley Hall (q.v.), comprising its original kitchen and service wing. Parts of the fabric may be early C16, much of it is early C17, with some late C19 alterations and re-facing. Timber-framed with some brick additions, all roughcast rendered and with plain tiled roof. Main elevation faces south, the original low range of 2 bays to the right, with central projecting gabled bay with exposed posts and mid-rail. Timber-framing also visible in the bay right of this, though the gable stack wall is partly coursed and squared sandstone. Beyond the original range to the left, 2 gables added c1870, much taller, with wide casement windows on each floor with mullions and transoms, and coving to decorative timber and brick nogging in gable apexes. Tall stack with clustered brick flues between these gables. Rear elevation roughcast with late C19 casement windows, but rear wing, originally detached, is a timber-framed range, probably late C16 or early C17, and probably not originally in domestic use. It is framed in square panels with queen post roof construction and some tension bracing. 4 panels high, 13 in length, with windows inserted within the panels, and one wood mullioned unglazed window in upper storey. Stack added against east wall, which has inserted garage doors to north. Internally, the principal room of the main range has square section moulded spine beam. In the upper storey, the remains of curved principal trusses (or upper crucks) with wind braces.
