Description
Number 2 is a house that has been converted into offices, dating from the mid-18th century and altered around 1980. It is constructed of brick with end stacks and features a half-hipped pantile roof. The building has a double-depth plan and stands three storeys tall with a two-window range. The right-hand doorway is topped with an open pediment supported by consoles, leading to a semicircular arch with imposts, a simple fanlight, and an eight-panel door. A full-height canted bay at the front has an entablature with triglyphs on the ground floor and 8/8-pane sash windows. Above the doorway, there are 6/6-pane sash windows in flush boxes. The parapet is roofed as part of Number 3. Inside, the structure has been rebuilt behind the facade. Additionally, there are wrought-iron railings and gates that enclose the front area.
