Description

7 Quay Street is a terraced house, built in the later 18th century as a mirrored pair with number 8. The exterior is painted stucco with a steep slate roof, featuring a renewed small modillion cornice under the gutter, and a red brick stack to the left. The house has three storeys, an attic, and a cellar, with a three-window front. The right bay is closely set to the left bay of number 8, with paired doorways. There are three roof lights and barred cellar openings beneath the ground floor windows. The windows are twelve-pane sashes, with shorter sashes on the second floor. The doorway on the ground floor is set within a fine timber doorcase, featuring an open-pedimented hood on brackets, a fluted impost band, fluted consoles, and panelled pilasters, similar to number 6, with the right pilaster shared with the doorcase of number 8. Two stone steps lead to an eight-panel door with fielded panels and a fanlight with radiating bars.

Inside, the entrance has a six-panel hall door with a large overlight featuring marginal glazing bars. A later 18th century staircase, matching that of number 8, rises in a dog-leg fashion over five flights, with three turned balusters to each tread, turned newels of a column-on-vase design, a moulded ramped handrail, and open scrolled treads. The front left room has a 19th century marble fireplace, while there are no cornices in the plain ground floor room at the rear. The doors are of a 19th century style, with sunk and fielded panels, and fielded panelled shutters.
