Description

No 2 Church Row is a terrace house built from rubble stone, featuring a slate roof with deep eaves and red brick chimneys at each end. The roof has a scalloped eaves board, and the chimneys have been renewed with red brick, arranged in diagonal sets. The right end has a block of four shafts shared with No 1.

The house is two stories high and has a three-window range of cross-windows, which have deep chamfered jambs, stone sills, and a centrally located boarded door within a segmental-pointed chamfered doorway. The ground floor windows are topped with sandstone hoodmoulds over timber lintels, and the hoodmould of the right window extends over the left window of No 1.

At the rear, there is a basement with cut stone voussoirs above two cambered heads, two large ground floor windows with red-brick cambered heads, and two additional windows located under the eaves. The windows are modern uPVC from the 20th century. The interior has not been inspected.
