2, Church Street

No. 2 Church Street is a house that has been converted into offices. It was built around 1762 and has undergone alterations in the late 18th and late 19th centuries. The house was designed by Thomas Jelly for the Duke of Kingston's Estate. The materials used include limestone ashlar, which is painted on the ground floor, and it has a pantile roof.

The architectural style is Palladian. The building has a deep single-depth plan that backs onto an existing addition from 1727 to Ralph Allen's house on York Street. Although it shares an address with No. 7 York Street, it is listed separately due to its distinct character and history.

The exterior features three storeys, an attic, and a basement. There are five windows in total, but two of the left-hand windows belong to No. 7 York Street. The ground floor has a central plain recessed door with a rectangular overlight, flanked by two sash windows. The left-hand windows are late 18th-century with six-over-six sashes, while the right-hand windows are late 19th-century plain plate glass sashes. The tops of the basement windows are visible in the plinth below. A platband runs along the building.

On the first floor, all windows are late 18th-century, with six-over-six sashes, except for the two right-hand windows, which have dropped sills and are six-over-nine. The upper floor windows are all six-over-six. The building is topped with a modillion cornice, a parapet, and a mansard roof that features three dormers—two paired and one single, all with flat tops and plain sashes. A stone stack with pots is also present. The interior has not been inspected. This house seems to have been part of the development leased to Thomas Jelly in 1762.
