No. 2 And Attached Railings

This is a house, likely dating to around 1770, with alterations made in the 20th century. It was developed by Thomas Omer and stands on land previously owned by the Hayne family from 1638. The site was sold to Thomas Omer in 1765, following earlier plans and the abandonment of a vineyard around 1730 due to failing springs.

The house is constructed of limestone ashlar, painted to the ground floor and rendered to the basement. The rear is of ashlar and rubble. It is a double-pile house with a parapeted roof covered in Welsh slate to the front; the rear roof covering is not visible. A coped party wall serves as a shared element with the adjacent No.1 Vineyards, incorporating two ashlar chimney stacks.

The front elevation has three storeys and a basement, featuring a two-window arrangement. The first floor has a tripartite window with plate glass, hornless sashes in plain reveals and a continuous stone sill. The second floor has two plate glass, hornless sash windows similarly detailed. The ground floor has a plate glass, hornless sash window to the left, and a six-panel door with flush beaded, fielded and glazed panels, set within a stone doorcase with a cyma moulded Pennant paved crossover, incorporating a 19th-century cast iron footscraper. The basement has a mix of casement, possibly a re-used single sash, and a 20th-century window, all in plain reveals. A band course connects with No.1 Vineyards, a moulded eaves cornice runs along the top, and there is a coped parapet shared with Nos. 3-6 Vineyards. The rear windows are not visible.

The interior remains uninspected.

Attached to the front are wrought iron railings with shaped tops resting on limestone bases.
