Description
No. 2 is a house located on Church Street in Widcombe, dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with a slate roof and features a deep block design that is slightly taller than the adjacent Somerset House.
The exterior consists of three storeys and a lower ground floor, which appears as a full four storeys at the rear due to the slope of the site. The front has two twelve-pane sash windows, with a balconette on the top floor to the right and a basement grille also to the right. The ground floor on the left has a panelled, part-glazed door beneath a plain fanlight set in an arched opening with deep reveals. To the left, there is a two-storey extension that has a blind light above a blind arched panel. The building is topped with a cornice featuring a blocking course and a parapet, with coped gables and an ashlar stack to the right.
At the rear, there are two twelve-pane sashes on each level, but the middle floor has a single blind panel. The rear also has a cornice with a blocking course and a parapet. The interior has not been inspected. No. 2 was built independently from Somerset House, with a straight joint between the two, and it is slightly taller overall. The front is enclosed by a high plain ashlar wall with a central elliptical opening leading to a 20th-century iron gate, which continues as a wall to an inserted garage. The right party boundary is adjacent to Somerset House.
