Description
No. 53 York Buildings is a house in a former terrace of seven, built around 1785. The building is rendered with a tiled roof and has three storeys, an attic, and a basement. The original hipped and tiled dormer has been replaced with a flat-roofed plain dormer, situated above two four-pane sash windows and a wide 20th-century three-light window. The ground floor features a symmetrical shop front with a deeply set-back central glazed door, covered by a plastic blind, and a deep 20th-century fascia. The basement is now hidden by the later pavement. There is an eaves cornice, and the right-hand party wall extends above the roof slope to a coping. A ridge stack is shared with the adjoining No. 54. The original frontage has been significantly altered and would have originally matched that of No. 52 to the left. The interior has not been inspected.
