Description
No. 7 is a terraced, paired house built in the 19th century, featuring painted stucco and a slate roof with decorative fretwork eaves board and bargeboards. It has yellow brick end stacks, with the left stack shared. The house is three storeys high and has a two-window range with plate-glass sashes. The upper floor displays a stepped triplet of round-headed windows on the left, with the centre light being taller and wider, and a single, wider round-headed sash on the right. Each window has arched hoodmoulds.
To the left, on the first and ground floors, there is a two-storied canted bay window with a moulded cornice. On the right, the first floor has a flat-headed sash, while the ground floor features a round-headed doorway. There are four steps leading up to a 20th-century door, which is five-panelled and was installed in 1981, accompanied by a plain fanlight. The hoodmoulds extend as strings on each floor, but on the ground floor, they only extend as far as the bay window.
On the first floor, there are balconies with fine later 19th-century cast-iron balustrades that extend on either side of the bay window. The front garden is enclosed by dwarf stone walls with ashlar coping and features cast-iron railings in an intersecting oval pattern made by Thomas Jones at Priory Foundry. These railings are similar to those found before Nos. 8-9 The Esplanade and at Union Street Chapel, and there is a matching gate.
