2, Stanley Place

No. 2 Stanley Place is a town house, now used as an office, built in 1782. It features Flemish bond brown brick and a grey slate roof, standing three storeys tall. There is one stone step leading to a door with five fielded panels, where the top panel is broad, and a plain overlight above. The doorcase is adorned with simple pilasters and a pediment that includes dentils and mouldings.

Each storey has two windows, with the original sashes replaced by carefully detailed metal casements set in wood sub-frames. The first and second storeys have 20-pane cross-windows, while the third storey features 12-pane casements. The windows have painted stooled stone sills and slightly cambered painted gauged-brick heads, topped by a simple cornice. A rainwater head with a bracket is dated 1782. The rear of the building has been rebuilt.

Inside, the plain brick cellar has brick walls and a flat ceiling, with a replaced stair. The first storey has had all features removed, and the stair is covered. The second storey retains panels beneath the windows, but other features have been removed. Some newels and part of a swept handrail on plinthed stick balusters survive on the upper stair, while the third storey has doors with four fielded panels.
