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[1] 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.[1][2]
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.[1][2]
The gates and railings in front of the house are Grade II listed.[3]
Reverend George Addleshaw (1906–1982)[4] lived at the property in 1952.[5]
