Description
No. 47 York Street is a terraced town house built around 1810 to 1820 as part of the Portman Estate development, similar to Nos. 39 to 45. The building is constructed of stock brick with a channelled stucco ground floor and has a concealed slate roof. It stands four storeys high with a basement and features three windows across its facade.
To the left, there is a semicircular arched doorway with a panelled door set in reeded jambs and a fanlight above a moulded doorhead. The upper floors have recessed sash windows, each set under flat gauged arches. The stuccowork is finished with a plat band at the first floor level, and there is a parapet with coping at the top. A cast iron Gothick patterned balcony spans the first floor, and the area is enclosed by cast iron railings topped with urn finials.
