Description

Number 2 is a semi-detached house built around 1720 and later refaced in the late 19th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a slate roof that is hipped to the right, with a dormer. The house has three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with three windows visible from the front. The entrance includes a doorcase with a carved hood supported by console brackets, leading to an architraved doorway that has a radial fanlight and a panelled door. The ground and first floors have segmental-arched sash windows, with the ground floor featuring flush frames and exposed boxing. The second floor has square-headed sash windows. There are plain brick bands at the floor levels. The property also has attached cast-iron railings with urn finials surrounding the areas. The interior has not been inspected.
