Description

This listing describes a pair of houses located at 2 Church Street, both dating from around 1800 or earlier. Each house is three stories high and features a three-window facade, with a stucco front, slate roofs, and rendered stacks.

The house on the right, known as Buckingham House, has six-pane attic windows and twelve-pane sash windows on the first floor, although the lower halves of these sashes have been replaced with plate glass. The ground floor features a pair of late 19th-century canted bay windows with a lean-to slate roof between them. There is a central door with an overlight. The rear of the house is constructed of rubble stone and includes a two-storey lean-to range and a northeast rear wing with a prominent stone end stack. The house has scarfed cruck roof trusses, which suggest it may be a late example of this construction style.

The house on the left has modern small-pane windows throughout, a central door with an overlight, and a rubble stone end wall that connects to a low two-storey rear wing with a large stone stack at the eastern end.
