GV II
House, now divided into 2 and containing flats. C16.
Timber-framed; jettied along street frontage; slate roof with
a plain wood eaves soffit.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, attics and cellar. 3 window range:
irregularly spaced 12-pane sashes in flush cased frames. 3
similarly spaced but slightly longer 12-pane sashes to the
ground storey. 2 flat-headed dormers with small-paned C20
windows. 2 doors, to No.78 6-panel in a plain wood architrave
with a rectangular fanlight with lattice glazing bars and to
No.78A 4-panel with a plain surround and rectangular fanlight.
The joist ends of the jetty are covered by a plain fascia
board.
INTERIOR: cellar below both halves of house is approached from
No.78: it has elliptical barrel-vaulted ceilings of narrow red
bricks; walls part rubble. On the interior of No.78 the
timber-framed core is overlaid by major C19 alterations. A
rear ground storey room has a much altered open fireplace with
only the lintel exposed.
A mid-C18 stair balustrade and 4-panelled doors to the upper
storey. No.78A has one room on each storey and a C20 rear
extension which is probably a replacement of an earlier range.
The main ceiling beam on the ground storey is boxed in; the
corresponding beam on the 1st storey has a double ogee
moulding. No access to the roof.
