Number 2

Number 2 is a former stable and dairy building, designed by James Pearson Alison and dated 1891. It features an L-shaped plan with gabled roofs, reflecting the Scots Renaissance style. The building has been converted into housing and is situated on a sloping corner site. The entrance is marked by a conical-roofed tower at the right end of the single-storey and attic principal elevation facing Elm Grove, which is complemented by two single-storey blocks linked by a wall to the Orchard Terrace elevation.

The exterior is constructed from roughly squared, tooled yellow sandstone with polished ashlar dressings, and some render is present on the courtyard elevation. The street elevations have chamfered margins, while the courtyard elevation features raised cills and stone-finialled gabled dormers.

The principal elevation on Elm Grove is irregularly fenestrated. It includes a door to the left bay topped with a star finial, two dormers in the central section, and a bipartite window at ground level. Above this is a corniced, single-light upper window with a semicircular pediment in the right bay, which also features a ball-finialled gable. Access to the entrance is via three stone steps on the outer right, leading to a shouldered arch that connects a corner pillar to the conical-roofed, finialled tower, which has an open pedimented window.

The west elevation of the Elm Grove block includes corner steps and a pillar to the left, with a gabled bay to the right that has single lights at canted, corbelled corners, a central plaque, a slit window in the attic, and a gablehead stack. The Orchard Terrace elevation consists of a roughly three-bay left block with dormers flanking a central door that is within a corniced and segmented pedimented architrave that breaks the eaves. A shoulder-height wall links the left and right blocks, with the cope rising to meet the eaves at each end. The right block has irregular fenestration, including two dormers. The courtyard elevation also has irregular fenestration.

The building features non-traditional windows. The roof is made of grey slate with metal ridges, and the skews are predominantly ashlar-coped and kneelered. Corniced ashlar stacks are topped with circular buff clay cans.
