Description

Grove Farm, now Nos. 1 and 2 London Terrace, is a pair of houses dating from the early 18th century, with later extensions. The front is built of ashlar stone, while the rear is of rubble stone, and the roof is covered with stone tiles. The gables are coped, and there are end wall stacks to the main range, and a rear wall stack to No. 1.

No. 2, on the right, represents the original range and features a first-floor window to the left with two lights and flush chamfered mullions, and paired windows to the right with three and two lights and flush cyma-moulded mullions. The ground floor has a two-light flush chamfered window, a door in a stone slab porch with a flat hood, and to the right, a door with a blank arch above and another stone slab porch with a flat hood and moulded heads to the piers. Further right are paired two-light flush cyma-moulded mullion windows with a dripstone above. A right-hand addition, with a coped gable and end wall stack, has a rosette datestone reading MW 1789 on its end wall, and a two-window front range. A 20th-century window is located above the door in the stone slab porch, which has rounded piers and a flat hood. To the right, a 20th-century window replaces a former two-light flush cyma-moulded mullion window, and a two-light flush cyma-moulded window is above. At the left-hand end of the main front, No. 1 is built of 19th-century rubble stone with a door and window to the left. To the right of the door, on the original corner stone, is the inscription 'London Place'.

A rear wing, originally with a two-light window and hoodmould to each floor, is located behind the rear wall stack. An ovolo-moulded frame survives to the upper window, while only the hoodmould remains to the lower window. This section suggests that the front of No. 1 is a rebuild of an early 18th-century house.
