Description
Nos. 1 and 2 North Green is a building originally constructed as one house in 1729, now divided into two residences with two shops added in the late 19th century. The structure is made of coursed sandstone rubble, featuring chamfered quoins, ashlar dressings, and shop plinths. The roofs are pantiled with stone slates at the eaves and dark grey asbestos tiles, and it has stone gable coping and brick chimneys. The building stands three storeys high with four bays on No. 1 and three bays on No. 2.
No. 2, located on the left, has a step leading up to a 20th-century door in the second bay, framed by an architrave beneath a pulvinated frieze and a broken pediment, which holds an oval panel inscribed with "WCE" above the date 1729. No. 1 features a central partly-glazed four-panel door also in an architrave under a pulvinated frieze and cornice.
The shop windows are square bay style, with double-fronted windows in the two right bays of No. 2, featuring two rows of two panes on each side of the steps leading to a central 19th-century door, all beneath a wide entablature. No. 1 has a similar arrangement with two rows of three panes in the right bay. The sash windows have plain stone surrounds and lintel bands, with fine glazing bars, except for a late 19th-century sash in the first ground-floor bay of No. 2. The right end has quoins. The roof of No. 2 is finished with pantiles and stone slates, while No. 1 has asbestos tiles and a right gable coping on moulded kneelers. The chimneys are banded at the left end and corniced between the houses and at the right end. The right return of No. 1 features a renewed door, which serves as the entrance to the house, set in a plain stone surround.
