Description

1 and 2 Two Mile Lane are now two semi-detached houses that were likely part of a chapel. They date back to the 15th century and have been altered and enlarged in the 17th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The building features thin, random rubble with ashlar dressings on the right, English-bond brickwork on the left, and timber framing at the left rear, topped with a tiled roof. The front has five windows and is 1.5 storeys high, with a depth of one room. There are 20th-century rear extensions.

On the right side facing Ross Road, there is a stone section with a plinth and a single stone with a five-sided recess positioned high up. The left side has a two-light casement window with a cambered brick arch and a single-light window. A vertical joint in the brickwork indicates the return of the original brick gable, while the timber-framed front was rebuilt in brick during the 19th century. Further left, there is a 20th-century extension with a two-light casement window. Above, there are five gabled dormers with plain barge boards and two-light casements. A brick chimney rises from the eaves near the right end of the brick section and from the ridge above the old gable. The right return features a large external brick chimney that tapers upwards.

On the rear wall, at the right end, there is a two-light mullioned window with a hoodmould above and a strip of small blind panels below, partly covering a built-up doorway. A 20th-century extension covers the original timber-framed rear wall.

Inside the stone section, there is a stone fireplace with a heavy lintel and single-stone jambs that taper out to the top. The exposed ceiling beams and joists have wide chamfers. The 17th-century landing handrail for the stairs features a moulded rail, a square newel with a moulded top, and alternating diamond-set bars and plain splats. The wallplate is crenellated, with no ridge piece and arched braces to the trusses, which are plastered over, as is the ceiling below the rafters. This building is thought to have been a wayside chapel before being converted into a cottage in the 17th century and extended with timber framing.
