2, Bocking End

No 2 Bocking End is an 18th-century building with a dark red brick front and lighter red brick dressings, featuring a brick plinth. It has two storeys and attics, with a five-window range of double-hung sashes that have glazing bars in flush cased frames. The windows are set above recessed brick panels beneath the sills, and the ground storey windows are fitted with wood shutters. The entrance features a central eight-panel door, with the upper panels glazed, set within a wood Roman Doric doorcase that includes fluted pilasters, a triglyph frieze, and a cornice. A raised brick band runs between the storeys. The roof is tiled and hipped, with two 19th-century gabled dormers and a moulded wood eaves cornice.

On the southwest side, there is an early 19th-century grey gault brick wing that adjoins the White Hart Hotel at the south end. This wing also has two storeys and a four-window range of double-hung sashes with glazing bars in plain reveals. The entrance has a four-panel door with a semi-circular fanlight and plain reveals, and the roof is slate.

No 2 Bocking End and the White Hart Hotel are part of a group with Nos 2 to 8 (even) Rayne Road and Nos 1, 3, 9, and 11 Bank Street in Braintree.
