GV II
Farmhouse. C17, remodelled and extended in the C18. Dressed coursed granite added
in the C18 to former granite rubble front. Granite dressings. Steep half-hipped
grouted scantle slate roof with brick chimneys over the end walls and probably later
axial chimney over middle of roof. 2 C18 or earlier crested ridge tiles. Cast iron
ogee gutters.
Plan: Original plan uncertain but C17 walling survives to the lower parts of most of
the present front and returns at either end for part of the depth of the house. In
the C19 largely rebuilt as a double depth plan with 3 rooms along the front: kitchen,
left; probably originally unheated room, middle, entrance hall, right of middle;
parlour right; dairy behind kitchen; stair hall behind middle room and pantry behind
parlour. Later lean-to on left.
Exterior: 2-storeys. Slightly asymmetrical south-west front with doorway right of
middle and small window left of middle. C18 6-panel door and overlight with
intersecting glazing bars. Distyle Tuscan porch. C20 horned sashes in pairs except
for 12-pane sash left of doorway.
Rear has original C18 12-pane stair sash with thick glazing bars and old 2-light
window to pantry. Other windows are C20 paired sashes or casements in original C18
openings.
Interior: Largely unaltered since the C18: large kitchen fireplace with oven and
reused C17 dressed masonry; C18 dog-leg stair with column-turned balusters, some C18
panelled doors and C18 strutted collar roof structure.
Painted rubble walls surrounding rectangular front garden. The walls are ramped up
at either end and the entrance aligns with the house doorway. Granite monolithic
piers with pointed heads.
