The building was Grade II* listed in 1954.
The brick front is limewashed. It is topped by a cornice, with a drainpipe head in the centre, dated 1763. Inside, much early plasterwork survives.

10 Precentor's Court
10 Precentor's Court is a historic building in the city of York, North Yorkshire, England.
The building is Grade II* listed, standing on Precentor's Court and is perpendicular to Fenton House at the western end of the street.
Parts of the house date to the 15th century: stone walls on three sides of the building, and in the entrance hall, the arch of a fireplace. The remainder of that house was demolished in the early 18th century, when the present building was constructed, with a new brick facade facing Precentor's Court. The building was altered internally in the mid-19th century, when a bay was added to the rear. In about 1900, the north-west wing of the house was entirely rebuilt, and the roof of the building was raised, adding an attic.
Inside the house, in the ground floor study, there are 16th-century beams, 17th-century panelling, and an 18th-century fireplace. The staircase is early-18th century but has been rebuilt, while the north-east bedroom has an 18th-century fireplace, moved from elsewhere.
The gates and railings in front of the house are Grade II listed.
Reverend George Addleshaw (1906–1982) lived at the property in 1952.

Eagle & Child, York
The Eagle & Child is a pub on High Petergate, in the city centre of York, in England.
The building was constructed in the early 17th century, as a three-storey timber-framed building, with attics and a jettied front. In the 18th century, the building was altered internally, and a brick extension was added at the rear, shared with the neighbouring Petergate House. The building's staircase survives from this period. Late that century, bays were added at the front, which survive at the first and second-floor levels. There is a large chimney between the front and rear rooms of the original part of the building, with fireplaces surviving from the 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries. The building was further altered in the 20th century, and the ground floor shopfront dates from this era.
By the mid-1960s, the building was a restaurant, when the Rolling Stones signed their names in lipstick on the wall of the top floor, graffiti which has been preserved. In 1977, the restaurant became Plunketts, which operated until 2015. That year, the Leeds Brewery converted it into the Eagle & Child pub, the name taken from a pub which operated on The Shambles from the 1700s until 1925. In 2017, it was taken over by Camerons Brewery, who refurbished the pub.
The building has been Grade II* listed since 1954.
