Gramercy Cottage
GV II
House. C16; extensively restored in late 1960s when most of
No.148 was built in a style matching No.149 and the rear part
of No.149 was completely replaced. Timber-framed and jettied;
timbers exposed on the upper storey; rendered, apart from main
posts, on the ground storey. Part old, part C20 plaintiled
roof. Close studding along the upper front with tension braces
at each end. The joist ends and bressumer of the jetty are
exposed. Frame in 5 bays with main posts supported by brackets
with moulded shafts.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, attic and cellar. Four 12-pane sash
windows to the upper storey and 3 to the ground storey, all in
flush cased frames. Between the sashes on the upper storey are
the remains of long original mullioned windows, partly
blocked, with applied sills carved with running leaf motif. A
similar window has been inserted into the upper storey of
No.148. 5 gabled dormers with 2-light single bar casement
windows across the whole front. The doorway of No.148 is at
the south end of No.149, which has a recessed central 6-panel
entrance door.
INTERIOR: cellar, small and mainly modernised. Some timbering
exposed on the ground storey although the original layout is
now not clear. The narrower central bay, which now contains
the entrance hall and stair, was previously a chimney bay.
Most timbers are plain, with flat unchamfered joists, but in
the end bay on the north the main beams have a double ogee
moulding.
On the upper storey the cambered tie-beams are supported by
very long substantial arched braces with prominent
assembly-marks. All the roof timbers were replaced during the
1960s restoration.
