6 and 7, Holywell Street

Nos 6 and 7 Holywell Street is a house that dates back to the 17th century but was largely remodeled in the 18th century. The building consists of two sections, both of which are stuccoed and feature 3-light sash windows typical of the 18th century. The eastern section, No 6, is two stories high and has a ground floor made of rubble with a moulded wood band. The upper part may be timber-framed. It has a moulded wood eaves cornice and a small parapet that conceals three dormers beneath a Welsh slate roof, which may be part of an earlier building. The plain wood doorframe has a bracketed hood, and the window on the first floor projects slightly.

The western section, No 7, is a taller building from the late 18th century. It features 3-light sash windows on the ground floor set in segmental recessed arches with bracketed cills and keystones. There is a decorative band at the first floor, and the second floor windows have keystoned, rusticated, and stepped architraves. Above this is a bold moulded parapet. The rear of this section is constructed of modern brick.

Inside, the building includes an early 18th-century staircase and panelling. All the listed buildings on the north side of Holywell Street are part of a group.
