Description
2 Well Street is a two-storey building with a projecting cross-wing on the left. The main range has one-and-a-half storeys, but both the main range and the cross-wing share the same eaves height. A chimney on the left side of the main range suggests a lobby entry plan, possibly indicating that a stack was inserted into what was once a cross-passage. The ground floor features a mid-20th century shop front that spans the entire width, including a flat-roofed block on the right where the main range meets the cross-wing.
The upper storey is roughcast over brick, except for the gabled front of the cross-wing, which displays exposed timber-framing. The roofs are slate, with a rendered ridge stack located at the junction of the main range and the wing. The timber-framing includes close-studding, with slightly raked posts that support a cambered tie-beam, a cambered collar, and a king-post. This framing is also visible on the left-hand return, above the stonework at ground floor level.
The upper storey of the cross-wing features early 19th century two-light iron casements with lattice glazing on the front and right-hand return. The main range has a gabled attic dormer with a two-light iron casement that has small-pane glazing. The 20th century shop front is rendered and includes parapets on the block at the angle. This block has a small-pane tripartite sash window on the front and a 16-pane sash window on the right-hand return.
On the ground floor of the cross-wing, there is a half-glazed panelled door on the right and a three-light window on the left, framed by plain pilasters that support a deep fascia and moulded cornice. The rear of the main range is rendered and lined, featuring an entrance to a flat above the shop, which has a 20th century part-glazed panelled door with plain sidelights. There is also a gabled attic dormer with a small-pane iron casement at the rear, similar to the front.
To the right, there is a separate property that is a single-storey rear wing with an attic, which has two windows and is rendered under a slate roof. It features irregular 20th century small-pane wooden windows, including gabled attic dormers. The interior of the shop is open-plan with a false ceiling and lacks any historic features. The upper storey has not been seen.
