Description
No. 2 Church Lane is a farmhouse built in the early 18th century and rebuilt in the mid-19th century. The building features 18th-century red brick and 19th-century gault brick, topped with slate roofs. It is two storeys tall and has an L-shaped plan, with a separate 18th-century bakehouse or dairy included in a rear 19th-century addition.
The main street facade consists of five bays clad in gault brick, with two tall square chimney stacks. The central entrance has double glazed garden doors with margin glazing bars and a rectangular fanlight above. There are four six-paned hung sash windows set slightly back in cambered brick arches on the ground floor, with four similar windows on the first floor. A verandah with a glazed roof features a cast iron Anthemion frieze and pilasters. Above the doorway is a fire insurance plaque.
Inside, the building has mostly 19th-century details, but the original closed string staircase with barley-twist balusters has been rebuilt in the 19th-century staircase hall.
