History

Seventh house of a terrace of eight, built c. 1840 in Tudor style, presumably for one of the gentry estates, but there are buildings marked on the site on a map of 1829. The houses are similar to those in Bull Terrace nearby. No 7 is two-bay by contrast with No 6, but with the projecting gable of No 6 forms a symmetrical five-bay composition.

Exterior

Terrace house, rubble stone with slate deep-eaved roof and red brick right end chimneys. Roof has scallopped eaves board, chimneys were a pair of red brick diagonally set shafts, in a block of four shafts shared with No 6, but only one of the pair and two of the four remain. Two-storey, two-window range, the windows with chamfered jambs and stone sills, two small windows under eaves, over a three-light mullion-and-transom window to right with sandstone hoodmould and a segmental-pointed chamfered doorway with board door and strap hinges to left.
Rear is rendered with hopper-type windows.
Interior not inspected.
