Description

No. 2 Woodhouse Square is a house, now used as offices, built between 1845 and 1855 and converted in the 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick with painted stone dressings and has a slate roof. It is two storeys high and features three first-floor windows. The structure has a plinth and quoins, with three steps leading up to a central four-panelled door set within a moulded architrave. This door is topped by an overlight and flanked by three-quarter Tuscan columns that support an entablature, cornice, and blocking piece. The flanking and first-floor windows are margin-light twelve-pane sashes, also in architraves, with a recessed panel below the ground-floor windows. There is a moulded string course at the first floor and eaves, along with an eaves cornice, blocking course, and end stacks. The interior has not been inspected.
