Description
Nos 2-7 Longbridge are three houses, now converted into six, dating from around 1675. The buildings are rendered with dressed quoins and feature a pantile roof with coped verges that have bases for finials, along with brick and stone stacks. They are designed in a Jacobean style with an "L"-plan layout. The main facade is two storeys high with three dormer gables and consists of two bays for each house, except for No. 3, which has one bay. The windows are 2-light stone mullion and transom types with moulded surrounds and triangular pediments that slightly project above each. The door openings also have similar pedimented surrounds.
No. 4 has a two-storey, flat-roofed projecting wing on the right, which is an 18th-century addition featuring one blocked window opening on each floor, along with rusticated openings and quoins. There is a moulded string course at the first-floor level, and the returns of this wing have similar detailing, although the left side includes sash windows with glazing bars. At the rear of No. 4, there is a three-storey gabled extension, while Nos 5-7 have four bays with scattered fenestration that includes one, two, and three-light mullion windows, some of which are blocked.
