Description
This is a terrace of three houses located at 2 High Street, constructed in brown squared stone with a slate roof and three stone chimney stacks. Each house is three stories tall and features a two-window range. The upper windows are small and consist of six panes, while the other windows are twelve-pane sash windows. The ground floor doors have overlights and are positioned on the left side. The houses have painted slate sills and cambered door and window heads with stone voussoirs, along with bracketed eaves.
No. 2 has had its two upper windows blocked and a large 20th-century dormer added. No. 1 features a small gabled addition on its end wall. This attractive stone terrace showcases fine quality masonry and was likely built shortly after 1847, predating No. 4, which is slightly taller and has more precise masonry. The terrace has seen little alteration aside from the changes at No. 2.
