GV II

Farmhouse and garden walls attached. Mid C18 with early C19 and later alterations. House coursed squared sandstone with plinth and ashlar dressings; Welsh slate roof with stone gable coping and stone chimneys. Garden walls extend forward from left end of house and to right from right end, returning to enclose garden: brick and stone, with flat stone coping. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, 5-window range. Central 6-panel door with 4-pane overlight under flat stone lintel; plain reveals. Similar reveals and lintels to C19 sashes, some renewed, with glazing bars and painted projecting stone sills. Steeply pitched roof has end gable coping and end chimneys with band cornices. Inserted glazed roof panels. INTERIOR: half-glazed inner door with glazing bars; raised and fielded panelled shutters to windows of ground-floor front left room; front right room has stucco cornice and fluted frieze. 6-panel doors with panelled reveals. Central dogleg stair probably mid C19 with close string, thick stick balusters, turned newel and rounded handrail. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: garden walls mostly stone, but brick at left where formerly an outhouse was attached; ramped at left up to brick section; boarded door at left under flat stone lintel, adjacent to house. HISTORY: the farm probably served the needs of the expanding market created by the development of the nearby ironstones mine by the Pease family in the mid C19. This is an unusually complete example of a developed farm.
