GV II

Formerly known as: No.61 MARKET STREET.
House, office, now public house. c1750, extended mid C19,
restored 1994. Flemish bond brickwork front and English bond
returns with grey brick decoration, tuck pointing, stucco
central bay, brick gable and rear lateral stacks and a tiled
hipped roof with stone slate verges. L-shaped single-depth
plan with right-hand rear wing, extended.
Mid Georgian style. 2 storeys, attic and basement; 5-window
range. Double-fronted with plinth, second-floor band and brick
eaves cornice; full-height canted rusticated ashlar bay with
cornice and a plain entrance with steps up to a panelled door
and panelled ceiling, with flat gauged brick arches over
flanking and first-floor 4/4-pane sashes with thick bars;
keyed cambered heads to 6/6-pane sashes, and 3 hipped dormers
with 3/3-pane sashes. Gables in header bond with black diaper
patterns.
Rear wing extended in mid C19, the right-hand return having
dentilled eaves and coped parapet, keyed segmental arches over
sashes and blind windows. Mid C19 porch has a hipped roof.
INTERIOR altered, original central stair removed, retains
panelled shutters and one fireplace with eared architrave,
enriched ground-floor cornice, with segmental-arched brick
cellar vaults. The front bay is a most unusual feature which
adds distinction to the facade: it was not shown on the
original drawings and is probably a later C18 addition.
