Description

Numbers 2, 2A, and 3-7 form a terrace of seven houses built in the mid-19th century. Numbers 2 and 2A were modernised in 1991. The front of the terrace is constructed of orange-red brick in Flemish bond, with bands and dressings of cream brick. The left side is rendered, while the rear is of mottled brown brick in English garden wall bond. The roof is slate, with stone-coped brick gables, brick kneelers, and polychrome brick cornice stacks, one of which has been rebuilt.

The front elevation is three storeys high, with three first-floor windows to numbers 2 and 2A, and two windows to the remaining houses. Numbers 2 and 2A have four-panel doors beneath plain fanlights, recessed within keyed round-arched doorways, flanked by paired round-arched windows. The other houses have four-panel doors with divided overlights to the front, paired except for number 5 which has a single window to the side. All ground-floor openings have shouldered heads beneath keyed flat arches of rubbed brick. First-floor windows also have shouldered heads and keyed flat arches. The second-floor windows are squat and have flat lintels. All windows are four-pane sashes, except for some 20th-century replacements on the first floor of number 6. Stone sills are present on all windows; the ground floor sills are moulded, while those on the first and second floors are shaped. The openings are stop-chamfered. There are contrasting brick sill bands on each floor, and similar impost bands to the ground and first floors, these rising over the round arched window and door openings to numbers 2 and 2A. The first and second floor bands continue onto the right gable wall. Each house has a bootscraper niche beside the front steps. A reset parish boundary stone is located towards the left end of the terrace, and is inscribed with "BOUNDS OF/ BISHOPHILL/ 17 JUNr 68".

The rear of number 2A has a long timber lintel on the ground floor, underbuilt with an inserted sash window. All original rear windows are four-pane sashes with cambered heads and flat arches, and stone sills, some of which have been painted. The interior has not been inspected. The terrace occupies a prominent position overlooking the churchyard of St Martin-cum-Gregory.
