Description

No 2 Church Walk is a house that dates from the 17th century, with additions from 1731, the early 19th century, and the 20th century. It is constructed from stone, brick, and timber framing, topped with a plain tile roof that features a brick ridge stack and a brick gable stack. The east gable is coped with brick. The house has a lobby entrance plan and stands 2½ storeys tall with a five-bay south front.

To the right, there is an early 18th-century addition that originally had two bays. The four bays of the main structure display exposed box framing with brick infill and straight braces connecting the wall posts to the roof plate. The off-centre doorway features a brick cambered arch and a 20th-century part-glazed door, flanked by single 2-light casements in the first and fourth bays. To the right of the entrance, an early 19th-century window has a brick cambered arch and a three-light casement, replacing two former windows that are now blocked. Above this, there are single 2-light casements in the first and fourth bays, along with two small windows stacked one above the other in the third bay, and a large three-light casement to the right. Above again, there are three 20th-century 2-light gabled dormers with bargeboards. All casements are from the 20th century.

The west gable wall features bargeboarded eaves and has a 18th-century outshut, likely a former dairy, made of brick with a plain tile roof. Above this, exposed corner posts with flared jowls and a wall-plate support two blades crossed at the ridge, indicating a former roof level, all with brick infill. There is a single 2-light casement immediately below the wall-plate and a single-light attic casement above, both from the 20th century. The rear elevation shows three visible bays of box framing. Inside, there are chamfered and stopped main beams, exposed joists, and a contemporary dog-leg staircase, although most of the internal partition walls have been removed.
