7, Church Street

This is a house dating to the second half of the 18th century, located on Church Street in Durham. The exterior is incised stucco with painted ashlar dressings and a plinth. It has a Welsh slate roof and a brick chimney. The house is three storeys high and three bays wide. The right-hand side features a patterned six-panel door within an architrave, topped by a bracketed hood. Late 19th-century sash windows are set within architraves and have projecting stone sills. A boot-scraper recess is located beside the front door. The interior is reported to contain a mid-18th century dog-leg staircase with a plain open string, square newels, vase and column balusters, and a ramped grip handrail, as documented by F.F. Johnson in "Historic Durham Staircases" in 1970.
