GV II

House, now in commercial use. C16 or earlier, refronted 1907.
Timber-framed and brick with slate roof.
2-storeyed, the main gable facing street with small range at
right angles, parallel to street. Gabled range apparently the
earliest part of the building, although it is possible that
the right-angled range has been rebuilt. Gabled range
refronted, but side elevation framed in large square panels
with arch-bracing, with intermediate horizontal and vertical
rails, 3 bays deep. Inserted windows in this facade, but the
remains of a wood mullioned window at ground floor.
Facade to street dated 1907: brick to ground floor with
6-light shop window, the doorway in the right-hand return. The
cambered tie beam in the gable may be original, the rest of
the facade clearly dates from 1907. Right-hand bay rendered,
probably over brick. 6-light shop window to ground floor, and
3-light gabled dormer in roof.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
