2 Gowthorpe

2 Gowthorpe is a shop building from the early to mid-18th century, with alterations from the 19th and late 20th centuries.

The building is constructed of hand-made brick, which is painted, and features a pantile roof with timber windows. The two-storey, four-bay facade facing Gowthorpe has alternate raised quoins on the right side, extending up to the original eaves level. The ground floor includes a late 20th-century three-bay shopfront that draws inspiration from late 19th-century styles. On the first floor, there are four narrow segmental-headed, flush-framed, four-pane horned sash windows with exposed moulded sash boxes. The deep eaves are supported by stepped brick brackets at each end and hold cast-iron rainwater goods that drain into a decorative hopper, which also serves the attached New Inn at 4 Gowthorpe. The steeply-pitched roof is covered with pantiles and features a pair of flat-topped dormers, each fitted with four-pane casements. The upper parts of the two gable ends are exposed above the roofs of the neighboring properties and are made of clamp bricks.
