5-10, York Place

This is a terrace of six houses, numbered 5 to 10, built around 1840. The houses are constructed with an ashlar facing. They are three stories high, although the ground floors of most have been altered. Each house features a three-window bow on the first three stories, with a single window above the entrance. A heavy, moulded stone cornice runs along the eaves, carried over the bows. Block and moulded string courses, and sill courses are also present. The first-floor windows within the bows are divided by Doric pilasters. The upper-floor windows are sash windows with intact glazing bars, while the windows over the doorways are set within architrave surrounds. Modern shop fronts have altered the appearance of the ground floors, except for number 5 which retains the original bow with rusticated piers dividing the windows. Numbers 5, 6, and 7 retain their original doorways, incorporating architrave surrounds, panelled flanking strips, and long console brackets supporting moulded cornices. Numbers 6 and 7 also retain original four-panel doors with two-pane fanlights above. Numbers 5 to 19 together form a notable group.
