Description
No. 5 York Row is a house built around 1797, part of a terrace that extends from the Crescent along York Row. This terrace is part of the planned circus of the Castle Estate, which was designed and constructed by Joseph Medworth between 1793 and 1816. The house is made of local brown brick and features a slate roof with a side stack. It stands three storeys high with a basement and has four bays. The entrance is located to the left through a round-headed archway with stone imposts leading to a side passage.
The first and second floors have four hung sash windows that are recessed in cambered red brick arches with stone cills. To the right of the entrance, there are two similar windows. The wooden doorcase features a broken pediment and fluted half-round columns, leading to a six-panelled door with a plain fanlight that has patterned glazing bars. The entrance is accessed by two stone steps.
