2, Broad Street

This is a mid- to late 18th-century building with a 19th-century frontage, incorporating a shop. The front is cement-rendered, with slate hanging to the gables and a slurried slate roof to half-hip, featuring decorative terracotta ridge tiles. It has three storeys and an attic, with a two-window frontage on the left, expanding to a four-window frontage on the right. The left-hand section at ground floor has a canted bay with plate glass display windows featuring thin mullions at the capitals, flanked by 20th-century glazed doors. The right-hand section has a 20th-century display front and door. The left section has a fascia and moulded cornice that returns at the ends, beneath a slightly projecting flat roof. The first floor has four-pane sashes, and the second floor has twelve-pane sashes, all set in flat raised architraves. The right gable has a small 20th-century three-light casement window to the attic. The rear of the building incorporates an arched sash within a projecting stair turret. Deep box eaves are present. Inside, the first-floor room on the left is complete with painted fielded panelling, shutters, a dado rail, panels, and a fireplace surround with pilasters and a fluted keystone. There are panelled doors throughout. The ceiling features a central plaster panel depicting slight scrolls, surrounded by a series of four panels portraying musicians and four heads, all connected by rococo swags, exhibiting shallow modelling but high quality. An adjoining room has one wall panelled and a moulded cornice to that wall alone. Several good 18th-century panelled doors are also present. A tight dog-leg staircase with winders, square newels, a moulded handrail, and twisted balusters to a closed string, runs from the first to the second floor. Attached to the back of the building and independent of it are numbers 1-4 The Court, the rear of which is not of special interest.
