GV II

Pair of houses in row. C17 raised in C19 .
MATERIALS: Squared and coursed rubble, Roman tile roof.
EXTERIOR: Three storeys, varied fenestration, each one window. No.20 has twelve-pane sashes in flush ashlar surrounds and to stooled sills at first and second floor, with paired twelve-pane in recessed ovolo mould mullion and surround to ground floor, to right of four-panel door under flat stone hood on brackets. No.21 has two-light casement at second floor, above plain sash, and plain sash in paired stone-mullioned casement as in adjoining property, with flush three-panel C19 door to right. Full width weathered string above ground floor openings. Each gable end has ashlar stack, and straight joint in masonry to left.
INTERIOR: No.20 has splendid 10ft wide inglenook fireplace with chamfered supporting stone and large lintel over. Central beam chamfered. Pair of Tudor arched stone fireplaces and vertical panelled partition in rear room. No.21 has mullioned front window, possible date c1667, centre beam front to back.
HISTORY: Both houses found to be much earlier than C18 and would bear closer inspection. Mullioned windows, chamfered beams and extremely wide inglenook all point to that. They may well have been rebuilt externally in C18. The fronts have suffered from excessive repointing.
