Description
No 7 Rock Houses, also known as East Rock House, is an end-terrace house dating from the 19th century. It features painted stucco and has a hipped slate roof behind a parapet. The building stands four storeys tall and is double-fronted, with the entrance offset to the right. Each floor has two sash windows, with 12-pane sashes on the lower three floors and 9-pane sashes on the top floor. The right-hand windows are horned sashes, and their sills are slightly lower, suggesting a possible alteration.
The arched doorway is adorned with a moulded timber open pediment supported by two slender columns, which have entablature blocks above. This doorway is similar to those found at Nos 4 and 5. The entrance features an 8-panel door with raised and fielded panels, matching reveals, and a fanlight with radiating bars. To the left of the door, there is a basement area enclosed by iron railings.
The forecourt is surrounded by a dwarf limestone wall topped with wrought iron railings that have scrolled spearheads. There are tooled limestone gatepiers flanking the gates on the right and another at the left corner, all topped with moulded caps and faceted ball finials on pedestals.
At the rear, which faces the sea, there is a four-storey painted stucco bow front. The sash windows on this side have been renewed in the 20th century. The facade is paired with No 6, featuring two square 6-pane sashes on the top floor, three windows on the second floor, two narrow 8-pane windows flanking one broad 16-pane window, and two very long 24-pane windows on the first floor, along with a ground floor French window and a 24-pane sash. Old photographs indicate that the two narrow lights on the second floor are 20th-century insertions.
