Number 2, The Engine House

No. 2, The Engine House is an engine house that has been converted into a house. It dates from around 1790 and has undergone later additions and alterations. The building is constructed of uncoursed limestone rubble with reddish-brown brick patching and features a plain tile roof. It has a square plan and consists of three levels. The first and third levels have late 20th-century casements, with the first level having a mid-19th century segmental head and the third level set in a round-arched recess.

Inside, no machinery remains, but it originally housed a Newcomen engine, which is noted to be one of only two in the county. Coal mining in the area ceased in the 1820s, after which the building was converted for domestic use. The former boiler house to the west was turned into a blacksmith's shop. In 1979, this blacksmith's shop and another outbuilding to the east were demolished during renovations, and single-storey additions were made to either side of the building.
