Description

2 Hand Terrace is a terrace of seven estate workers' cottages built from brick and roughcast, topped with slate roofs. Each cottage is one storey with an attic and consists of a single bay. The terrace features three forward wings that contain cottages 1, 4, and 7, with cottages 2 and 3 positioned between the centre and the south wing, and cottages 5 and 6 located at the north. The entrances are set in recessed sections beneath a continuous open slated verandah that extends partway up the wings. The doors are Gothic pointed arched, made of boarded wood and set in heavily moulded frames, while the windows are two-light paned with pointed heads. The wings also feature canted paned timber windows. There is one raised and gabled dormer on the first floor. The eaves above the canted bays are cogged brick. In the north section, the doors and windows are interchanged compared to the south section. At the rear, all cottages have various later extensions, and the windows have been altered. One door has been modified to include a glazed upper panel.
