Fenton House is an historic building in the English city of York, North Yorkshire. A Grade II* listed structure, standing at 9 Precentor's Court, the house dates to 1680,[1][2][3] although a mediaeval wall was discovered when floor repairs took place.[4] A new frontage was installed on the house around 1705.[5]
Looking directly down Precentor's Court, from its western end, to York Minster, the building was formerly the prebendal house of Cave and, later, Fenton.[6] It stands perpendicular to 10 Precentor's Court at the western end of the street.
In 2013, the eight-bedroom home was put on the market for £1.1 million.[6]
