Description
17 North Bongate is a late 18th-century house that has been converted into a shop. It features painted incised render with painted ashlar dressings and a roof made of Welsh slate and composition tiles, supported by stone gable kneelers. The building is two storeys high with three windows. The first bay is blank above a 20th-century six-panel door set in plain reveals. The third bay contains a half-glazed door with an overlight. Flanking the door and on the first floor are four-pane fixed lights that have painted keystones and projecting stone sills. The steeply pitched roof has narrow moulded kneelers at the gables, with the left side having the coping removed and the right side featuring thin rendered coping. No chimneys are visible. The interior has been altered on the ground floor, and the staircase has been renewed. The substantial roof structure includes side purlins on pegged collared trusses, with the principals crossed at the apex.
