C19 canted bay added to the right. Mid C20 concrete pantiles.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and dormer attic; 8-window range. There
are 2 doorways to the right, both 6-panelled. The door to No.2
is set within early C19 panelled reveals behind an open
pediment carried on a pair of engaged columns. 6-vaned
fanlight. The door replaces a former window. The door to No.2B
also has early C19 panelled reveals and an open pediment above
a cornice. There is no door to No.1. To the left of the doors
are three 6/6 sashes with flush frames and gauged skewback
arches, and a similar narrow 4/4 sash. Platband between the
floors with a moulded under surface. Six 6/6 first-floor
sashes under gauged skewback arches as before and, at either
end, a narrow 4/4 sash. The sash to the extreme left has a
blind upper window. The canted bay window rises through both
storeys and is illuminated through 6/6 sashes under gauged
skewback arches. Modillion and dentil eaves cornice. Gabled
roof with 4 gabled dormers fitted with 6/6 C20 sashes. Ridge
stack left of centre and the internal gable-end stack to the
south both are late C16 and both have transverse plinths
carrying twin octagonal flues. The north gable is rendered and
carries over the remains of the archway to Row 76. The rear
has a 3-storey cross-wing rendered and whitewashed and pierced
at irregular intervals by C19 and C20 sashes.
INTERIOR: the 3 interiors have been knocked together with that
to No.3 (qv). The entrance is from the door to the former
No.2B. Reception area to left (formerly in No.2) has a late
C16 plaster ceiling divided by a plastered beam with
sunk-quadrant mouldings. The 4 main compartments of the design
are defined by roll-moulded ribs, and each has a concave-sided
octagon with the pointed tips elaborated into foliate sprays.
In the centre of the octagons are foliage grounds and a short
jelly-mould pendants. The staircase to No.1 is C20. The
first-floor front room to No.2B has a late C16 plaster ceiling
also. One plastered bridging beam with roll mouldings. There
is a grid of double-rolled ribs defining plain square grounds
in each of which is a jelly-mould pendant with ballflower
decoration. The next room north (in No.2) has early C19


large-frame panelling and egg-and-dart cornices over all 3
doors. Front range roof of chamfered tie beams, slightly
cambered, and rebuilt above in mid C20.
