7, York Street

No. 7 York Street is a house that has been converted into a shop. It was built around 1762 and altered around 1805 by Thomas Jelly for the Duke of Kingston's Estate. The building is made of limestone ashlar and has a Welsh slate roof.

The house has a double depth plan but was truncated on the north side when York Street was cut through Church Street around 1805. It now shares the same address as No. 2 Church Street and Ralph Allen's House on York Street.

The exterior features three storeys, an attic, and a cellar. There are two bays facing Church Street and three bays on the return to York Street. The ground floor on both elevations has a mid to late 20th-century 'Georgian' shopfront. Above the shopfront, all windows are six-over-six sash windows set in plain reveals. A modillion cornice and parapet run around both elevations, and the building has a double mansard roof with two gabled dormers, which also contain six-over-six sash windows and may be original. There is a tall stack with pots on the right side. The narrow rear elevation is painted and has a single bay with six-over-six sash windows, along with a modern extension to the shop on the ground floor. Additionally, there is one flat-topped dormer with a six-over-six sash window.

The interior has not been inspected. This house appears to be part of the development leased to Thomas Jelly in 1762.
