Description
No. 7 Bishopgate is a house built in the late 1830s, part of a group designed by John Shepherd, a joiner from Howden. The building is constructed of brick in English garden wall bond and has a Welsh slate roof. It stands two storeys high and features two first-floor windows across three bays. The entrance consists of a six-panel door beneath an overlight with decorative glazing bars, set within a doorcase that has plain jambs and consoles supporting dosserets and a hood. To the left of the door are two sash windows with glazing bars, and to the right is one sash window. On the first floor, there are two sash windows with glazing bars to the left. The building has channelled wedge lintels with panelled, dropped keystones throughout. The roof is hipped to the right and features a ridge stack. There are two additional sash windows with glazing bars on the right end facade, which balance the fenestration of No. 66 Hailgate.
Inside, there is an open-string staircase with very slender column-on-vase balusters and carved tread ends. The hallway has a plain arch, and both the hall and landing feature coved cornices.
