Description
No. 3 York Row is a house built around 1797, forming part of a terrace that extends from the Crescent along York Row. This terrace is part of the planned circus of the Castle Estate, 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 has three storeys and a basement, with three bays. The building has a stone-coped parapet and painted stone bands at the first and second floors.
On the second floor, there are two nine-pane recessed hung sash windows set in cambered, gauged red brick arches, flanking a central painted blind window. The first floor has three twelve-pane windows that are similar, along with two additional windows without glazing bars to the right of the entrance. The wooden doorcase features a broken pediment and fluted half-round columns, leading to a six-panelled door and a plain fanlight, with two stone steps leading up to it.
Inside, the house retains some original doors and window-cases, along with a plain closed-string staircase and four chimney pieces dating from the 19th century.
