GV II

House. C18, probably with older core. Red brick with a hipped
tiled roof and modillion eaves cornice. A high plinth across
the front of the house stops short of the north end and there
are indications of a join in the brickwork. The north gable
wall has bands of stretcher bond in a darker red brick.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, attics and cellars. The windows to both
storeys are all 12-pane sashes in flush cased frames, more
widely spaced on the left of the entry. 3 flat-headed dormers
with 2-light small-paned casement windows in the front slope
of the roof. A central 6-panel door with the top 2 panels
glazed has a wood doorcase with panelled pilasters and reveals
and a fret dentilled frieze and pediment.
Near the north end of the rear wall is a section of flint and
stone blocks which does not seem to relate to anything now in
the house. An early C19 2-storey red brick rear range is
separately roofed parallel with the front. Attached to the
north-east corner of the front is a section of cast-iron
garden railings, with fleur-de-lys heads, on a low brick
plinth.
INTERIOR: flint and brick-lined cellar has 2 niches with reset
arched heads with moulded spandrels which may come from the
former Chapel of St Saviour nearby. Georgian fittings in most
rooms of the house: drawing room to the right of the entrance,
fully panelled, with a fret cornice; C18 fireplace surround
with fluted architrave and ornate central motif. At the north
end of the room a small extension containing a long sash
window with internal panelled shutters is marked by a boxed-in
ceiling beam and fluted Ionic pilasters. To the left of the
entrance, a fireplace with bolection-moulded surround and
dentil cornice. Late C18/early C19 stair with closed strings,
turned balusters and plain ramped handrail. Boarded attics.
The rear range has a panelled ground storey room.
