Description

Number 2 is a terraced house dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of yellow stock brick with a rusticated stucco ground floor. The building has three storeys and a basement, featuring two windows. The doorway is adorned with pilasters that support an entablature, and it includes a fanlight above a panelled door. The first-floor windows are sash windows with architraves and pediments, while the second-floor windows are round-arched sashes also with architraves. A cornice sits above, topped with a balustraded pediment. The interior has not been inspected. Attached to the house are cast-iron railings, along with a wrought-iron area and entrance overthrow.
