Description
No 5 York Terrace, located on The Esplanade, is part of a terrace built around 1810. The building has undergone slight alterations but retains an nearly intact front. It features a two-window, three-storey elevation faced with stucco, complete with a cornice and parapet. The mansard slate roof has two dormers with intact glazing. The first floor has recessed sash windows with intact glazing bars, and a full-length window with moulded blind cases.
An early 19th-century tent-shaped canopy supported by iron trellis overhangs the first-floor balcony, which has a turned wood balustrade. The ground floor is characterized by a Tuscan verandah with a rusticated finish. There are two round-headed sash windows on the ground floor, both with intact glazing. The windows have incised voussoirs and keystones. The glazed door retains two petrels with reeded frames, a semi-circular fanlight, and a round marginal glazed light with swags. The balustrade between the verandah columns is plain with a moulded rail.
Nos 1 to 12 York Terrace form a group.
