7 And 9, Chancery Lane

A house, now divided into two dwellings, dates from the early to mid-18th century and the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Built of limestone, the exterior is now rendered, with some areas finished in a Tyrolean style, and has a Collyweston slate roof. The building likely started as a three-unit plan and now presents a six-window front. Number 7 has three flat-topped dormers with unhorned sash windows containing glazing bars. These dormers are constructed of ashlar with stone lintels and keyblocks. Early 19th-century bow windows on the ground floor to the left feature sash windows with glazing bars. Number 9 has a three-window range to the first floor on the right with plain 19th-century sash windows with rendered heads and keyblocks. Below, two early 19th-century unhorned sash windows are situated under similar rendered heads. The six-panel door to Number 7 is positioned between the bow windows and has a moulded wooden surround with reeded pilasters and a flat hood. A recessed 20th-century door is found to the right of centre in Number 9. Brick and stone stacks are located along the ridge and at one end of the building. The interior of Number 9 retains a spine beam with run-out stops.
