Description

2 Spring Gardens is the second house of a former row of four. Each house was either rendered or made of whitewashed rubble, featuring a slate gabled roof and end stacks. The building is two storeys high with an attic and basement, originally having a three-window range with a central door. The fourth house in the row was altered in the 19th century to become Nos 4 and 5, resulting in the loss of the central window and door. Originally, the houses had small-paned 12-pane sash windows and thin sill-courses.

No 2 is currently painted roughcast with a 20th-century concrete-tiled roof and rendered end stacks. It has a later 20th-century half-glazed door in the centre and renewed 12-pane timber sashes that lack sills. The roof features a small central skylight flanked by later 20th-century dormers with 4-pane uPVC lights beneath tile-hung gables. The rear of the house is made of whitewashed stone.

The property has been modernised since 1981, when it had not been inspected but was reported to resemble Nos 1 and 3, which had an 18th-century staircase that has since been removed.
