Description
York House is a house in a terrace of five, built in the early 19th century. It has a rendered exterior with stone dressings, all colourwashed, and features a Welsh slate roof and a red brick chimney stack. The building has a double-depth plan and is two storeys high with an attic and basement, comprising two bays.
The exterior includes a plinth and end pilasters that return as an eaves band course. The sash windows are set in plain architraves, with a 16-pane window in the ground floor of bay 1 and a 12-pane window on the first floor. The entrance is located in the lower bay 2 and features a six-panel door with a rectangular fanlight that has ornamental glazing. This is framed by a stone doorcase with Tuscan pilasters, paterae, dosserets, a plain frieze, and a moulded cornice beneath a plain central blocking. There are small flat-roofed dormers with slate cheeks and two-light small-pane casements, and a cast-iron ogee gutter. Grilles in the pavement provide access to the basement. York House is part of a consistent and largely unchanged terrace.
The interior has not been inspected. The houses numbered 1 to 9 (odd) form a cohesive early 19th-century terrace design.
