2-10, MILL ROAD

A terrace of four houses and a shop dating from the early 19th century, located on Mill Road in Maldon. The front of number 2 is painted, while the rest of the terrace is built of yellow Gault brick. The roofs are slate, hipped to numbers 4 to 10, and concrete pantiles to number 2, which also has a hipped north-east section and a gabled south-west section. Red tiles form the hips and ridge; there are two Gault brick stacks along the ridge and a stack over the south-west gable.

The building is two storeys high, although number 2 has higher eaves. It has a 4-window front to numbers 4-10, and a 3+1-window front to number 2. The first floor of number 2 features three 12-pane sash windows. The ground floor of number 2 contains a single sash window, a combined doorcase and shop front. This shop front has a continuous fascia and a hood over a canted bay window with plate glass. The doorcase features panelled pilasters, panelled reveals, and a fanlight with geometric-pattern glazing bars above a two-panelled door. A 12-pane sash window is located on the north-west flank of number 2. Numbers 4-10 each have identical fronts with 16-pane sash windows on both floors. Each of these houses has a semicircular-headed doorway with a plain plaster spandrel and a matching C20 door. The interior was not inspected.
