GV II

A pair of houses, formerly a terrace of 3. Early C19 with a
C16 timber core. White brick fronts; render to north gable
wall; slate roofs; asbestos slates on the rear slope.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. 5 window range: 12-pane sashes in plain
reveals with flat gauged arches and stone sills to the upper
storey. On the ground storey No.4 has a larger 20-pane sash
window. No.5 has two 16-pane sashes and one 12-pane sash which
replaces the former door of No.6. 3 doors, one blocked, with
blank fanlights in semicircular-headed brick surrounds.
INTERIOR: no cellars. The upper rear room of No.5 has a
tie-beam and main post in the north end wall with a housing
for a missing wallplate. The rear wall has been raised, but
the tops of the upper windows follow the line of the earlier
wallplate.
In the early C19 the front of the timber frame was removed and
the house built forward. In a passageway between Nos 4 and 5
is a ceiling beam (apparently a trimmer) with double
ogee-moulding, indicating that the original house had a
moulded ceiling and was probably jettied.
