Description

No. 2 Princes Street is a house and shop, now used as an office, dating from around 1840. The building is rendered and features a hipped pantile roof. It stands three storeys tall and has one window on the first and second floors. There is a step up to a 20th-century glazed door on the left, set within a simple 19th-century doorcase that has panelled reveals and pilasters. To the left, there is a contemporary shop front in a similar style. The first-floor window is a tripartite sash window with glazing bars and horns, set in a lugged architrave with a hood supported by moulded consoles and a guilloche-decorated sill. The second floor has a similar architrave with two half-glazed doors. A box cornice runs along the top. The side elevation to the left features 16-pane sash windows in lugged architraves.
