10, Lower Park Row

No. 10 Lower Park Row is a house that has been converted into flats. It dates from the early 17th century and underwent alterations around 1722, with a datestone located over the doorways. Further changes were made in the early 19th century, and the building was restored around 1980. The structure is built of rubble with limestone dressings and features ashlar gable stacks, topped with a pantile cross-gabled roof. It has a double-depth plan with a gable facing the street and stands three storeys high, including an attic and basement, with a one-window range.

The gabled front has two cross gables on each side and string courses on the upper floors. On the right side, there is a blocked doorway with a brick segmental arch, a central 19th-century shop window, and a 20th-century sash window. The first floor features an 8/8-pane sash window under a relieving arch, along with a 20th-century attic casement. The left side of the building has stacks on both gables, a central 20th-century casement, and a second-floor 16th-century mullion window, with small semicircular-arched leaded windows set in ashlar panels at the extreme sides of the upper floors. The right side has a five-window range, with a blind section to the left of paired central semicircular-arched early 19th-century doorways with imposts, and restored cross windows with leaded metal casements.

Inside, there is a rebuilt framed dogleg stair from the entrance, featuring moulded 17th-century door frames and panelled doors on each landing. The former listing noted good mid-17th-century features, including six excellent panelled doors and several fine Tudor-arched fireplaces, one of which has a bread oven in the basement, although this was not accessible at the time of review. The interior also includes moulded cornices, panelling, and a firestone arched window. This building is exceptional as a surviving early domestic structure in the city center, with a former front featuring two gables on the southwest elevation.
