GV II
Farmhouse. C17 with C19 and C20 fenestration. Rubble, slurried slate or
asbestos-cement slate roof. An L-plan with lobby entrance opposite stair turret
and a rear wing, cut back to about half original length in mid C20; to right an
added bay with kitchen wing, to lower pitched roof. 2 storeys; ground floor
has a 3-light casement to concrete lintol and 3-light to wood lintol; far right
a 3-light C20 casement. Opposite brick ridge stack a C19 glazed door in glazed
gabled porch; further glazed door to flat hood on cantilever backets, right.
First floor has one 2-light and three 3-light casements, one of these with
glazing bars. Small brick stack to right gable which has pattern of pigton
openings and marks of earlier steeply pitched roof; one C20 light top right.
Straight joint in wall suggests outward extension or possible collapse. Set
back from gable in stair turret and main wing now abbreviated, but formerly
extending almost to back wall of Hatch Arundell (q.v.). Left gable plain; back
with lean-to extension. Interior part inspected: middle room has 3 rough
chamfered transverse beams; fireplace concealed by later work; some C18 and
C19 panelled doors. A C20 door set to early H-hinges gives to square stone
spiral stair. Concealed bressumer fire to kitchen. Roof not inspected, but
probably retains early fabric in main range. Fron left gable a straight run of
garden boundary wall c.2.2m high returns forward at c.2.5m height, and returns
again by cobbled entry road to a mounting block and pair of large cylindrical
gate piers c.3m from south-east corner of farmhouse.
