Description
Number 2 and an attached wall are a house, now offices, dating from the mid-to-late 18th century with a substantial late 19th-century extension to the right. The original section is constructed of red Flemish-bond brick with burnt headers, painted freestone dressings, a Plymouth stone plinth, and a slate roof topped with two large brick ridge stacks. The plan is of a double-depth design.
The house presents a symmetrical three-window facade to the original 18th-century section, with five windows to the entire facade. Fine details are visible in the rubbed brick flat arches and brick platband. The central bay is slightly advanced and topped with a pediment as part of the parapet, featuring a plate-glass sash window and a Georgian-style doorcase with an open dentil pediment supported by engaged Ionic columns. This doorcase incorporates a cobweb fanlight, raised and fielded panels to the reveals, soffit, and an eight-panel door. Flanking the central bay are full-height segmental bays with curved frames to 19th-century plate-glass windows. Painted iron bands secure the parapet wall. The section to the left, rendered to the second floor, has double plank doors and a Venetian window with plate-glass sashes to the first floor. The late 19th-century extension on the right features similar brickwork to the ground floor and a forward-facing timber-framed gable with a tall oriel window on brackets and curved glass to the corner panes. The 19th-century return elevation is in a similar style.
The interior retains fine details from the 1770s, including a swag and paterae frieze in the hall and a plain 18th-century staircase with scroll tread ends. A ground-floor room to the left features a frieze depicting maidens and swags, along with an 18th-century wooden fireplace with a roundel featuring a reclining female figure. The ground-floor room to the right has an 18th-century fireplace with pilasters, swags, and a relief of a chariot drawn by lions, alongside a pilastered alcove. At the top of the staircase are fluted Composite half columns with swag decoration. The first-floor room on the right contains an 18th-century fireplace with pilasters and a central panel depicting a boar hunt; a floral frieze is also present. Six-panel doors are found throughout.
A brick wall with burnt headers, a stone plinth, and capping extends approximately 20 meters along the street to the right, connecting to rusticated gate piers approximately 2 meters high.
