No. 2 and Attached Railings

This is a late 18th-century house, later altered in the 19th century, and now used as flats. It is located in Burlington Place, and originally formed part of a quasi-symmetrical composition with other properties, including No.1 Burlington Place and buildings along Gloucester Street. The front of the house is constructed from limestone ashlar, painted up to the first-floor sill band, with rubble to the rear. The roof is a mansard style, extending fanboards to the front right, covered with artificial slate, and features a shared ashlar stack with the adjacent No.1 Burlington Place.

The house has three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a two-window front. The first floor has plate glass windows in plain reveals; a wrought iron balconette is present to the left, and a plate glass, horned sash with a lowered stone sill to the right. The second floor has similar plate glass sashes with stone sills and horns. The ground floor features a six/six horned sash window to the left, and a six-panel door with flush beaded, fielded and glazed panels, a cast iron lion’s mask knocker, and a pedimented Doric doorcase with a concrete step. The basement has two horned two/two sashes and an unmoulded six-panel door under a concrete crossover. Dormers with two/two sashes and a three-pane casement are present on the right return face. A band course sits above the ground floor, and there is a weathered sill band cut through by the first floor window to the right, a bracketed eaves cornice, and a coped parapet. A lead hopperhead and part lead downpipe are visible in the angle. The interior of the building has not been inspected. Attached wrought iron railings with shaped heads on limestone bases are also part of the property.
