Description
No. 2 Prior Park Cottages, also known as Good Hope, is a small house located at the end of a terrace, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with a pantile roof. The cottage features a Gothick front and has a double-depth plan.
The exterior consists of two storeys and a basement, with two windows. The first floor has paired two-light casements with cusped heads set in cavetto surrounds, while the ground floor features a five-light window with moulded mullions and cusped heads in a splayed surround. To the left, there is a Gothick panelled door with glazed lights and cusped heads above quatrefoils, accessed by stone steps. The ground floor is sheltered by a lean-to leaded canopy supported by three slender iron standards, which includes a balcony rail. Below, there is a four-light basement window with cusps. The building has a cornice that stops at the ends, a blocking course, and a parapet with coped verges. A stack is located to the right, shared with Priory Cottage. The left gable is plain, and the rear features two one-over-one plain sashes and two small sashes in the basement. This cottage is attached to the end of Ralph Allen Cottages but is not shown on the 1828 estate map. The interior has not been inspected.
