2 The West End

This is a terrace of seven houses built in 1869, located at The West End. The houses are three storeys high, with Nos. 1-6 forming three pairs of two-bay houses, and No. 7 being a single three-bay house with the central and left-hand bays set back under projecting eaves.

The walls are mostly painted pebble-dashed, except for No. 1 which has a painted brick front, and No. 2 where the brickwork has been recently cleaned to reveal a chequerboard pattern, along with limestone dressings. The roofs are slate, with roughcast stacks except for a brick stack at the left end of the terrace.

Nos. 1-6 have round-headed entrances in the inner bays, each with an overlight. No. 1 has a panelled door, No. 2 a modern replacement, Nos. 3 and 4 have original panelled doors, and Nos. 5 and 6 have replacement doors. Nos. 1-4 have moulded imposts and keystones above the entrances. Nos. 5 and 6 have surrounds with pilasters, arches with faceted keystones, and a cornice above the doorways. The outer bays of Nos. 1-6 feature two-storey canted bay windows. Most windows are four-pane sashes, with replacement windows at No. 2. A sill band runs across the middle storey. Nos. 3-6 have plain rendered architraves. A tablet between Nos. 4 and 5 displays the words 'The West End 1869' in raised letters and numerals.

No. 7 has a replacement panelled door with a round-headed overlight and moulded architrave with keystone. The right-hand bay has a two-storey canted bay window. The left-hand bay has tripartite sash windows in architraves, with a keystone in the middle storey. The upper storey has keyed architraves. The right gable end of No. 7 has four-pane sash windows on the left in the lower and middle storeys, with an inserted window on the right in the lower storey, adjacent to a small lean-to. No. 1 has small-pane sash windows in its left gable end.

The rear of the terrace is constructed of rubble stone, partly rendered, and each pair of houses has a lower, two-storey gabled wing with mainly small-pane sash windows. A vertical joint is visible between Nos. 6 and 7. No. 7 has replacement windows. The facade of No. 2 exhibits the recently revealed chequerboard brickwork, modern sashes, and limestone dressings, including a sill band, lintels, and keystones to the arched doorway.
