GV II

Farmhouse, now two dwellings. Probably later C17 with addition and
alteration in early C18; subsequently altered. Coursed sandstone rubble,
part rendered, stone slate roof. T-shaped plan: No. 3 forming a gabled
cross-wing at the left end of No. 5 and probably incorporating the original
1st bay of that house, which is now 2 bays with central lobby-entry. This
part (No. 5) has a doorway in line with the ridge chimney at the junction of
the bays, with chamfered Tudor-arched surround, beneath the eaves above the
door a blocked single-light window;and two recessed mullioned windows on each
floor (mullions rendered): to the left, 6 lights at ground floor (lacking 1st
and 4th mullions) and 4 lights above, to the right 4 lights at ground floor
and 3 above. Right-hand gable has inserted door and window at ground floor,
small horizontal window at 1st floor, and blocked attic window.
Interior: altered but has a longitudinal beam in 1st bay (now boxed).

The projecting gable of the wing to the left (No. 3) is rendered, has two
16-pane sashed windows on each floor, with exposed boxes, stone coping with
kneelers, and gable chimney; the return wall, of thin sandstone rubble,
4 bays, the rear half probably formerly stables, has a gabled porch in the
centre, and inter alia remains of mullioned windows at 1st floor to the right
of this: 4 lights lacking 2 mullions, and 3 lights lacking both and
lengthened downwards. Interior: altered, but large chamfered beam in front
room, jointed to a continuation in the room behind, the latter perhaps
formerly lateral to the main axis of the original building.
