Description
No. 2 Church Street is a house that dates back to the late medieval period, with alterations made in the 19th century and earlier. It features a timber frame that is plastered and weatherboarded, while the facade is made of painted brick in Flemish bond. The roof is covered with handmade red clay tiles. The building has three bays facing east, with an internal stack located at the right end, and a two-bay crosswing to the left that has an external stack at the rear. There is a late 19th-century rear extension to the right of the crosswing. Additionally, there is a two-storey ancillary wing at the rear of the right end, constructed of red brick and featuring an internal stack against the right wall, along with a single-storey extension beyond it.
The house is two storeys high and has a three-window range of early 19th-century sashes with 16 lights, complemented by 19th-century external shutters on the ground floor windows. The entrance includes one half-glazed door and one six-panel door, with the top panels being glazed, both set in round arches of the brick facade. The roof is continuous and has gablet hips at both ends. The left return is weatherboarded, while the right return and rear are plastered.
Inside, the frame is mostly plastered, showing little evidence of the original construction date, except for some plain heavy joists of horizontal section in the right bay and an early 17th-century inserted floor in the next bay, which includes a chamfered axial beam with lamb's tongue stops and plain joists of vertical section. On the first floor of the left crosswing, there is a chamfered wallplate with step stops. Access to the roof is not available. This building originally served as a medieval hall house, which had an internal stack inserted in the left bay of the two-bay hall that was later removed. It was subsequently converted into two cottages, which have now been combined into one.
