Craven House

Craven House is a late 17th century building located at No. 16 High Street. It is a two-storey structure made of brick, featuring a parapet and a pantile roof with stacks at both gable ends. The house was remodelled in the early 19th century. The façade includes three windows, which are hung sashes with glazing bars and stucco lintels. The ground floor has two windows fitted with wooden shutters. The entrance door consists of six fielded panels and is set back within a decorative entrance that includes reeded pilasters, fluted capitals, and a frieze. It is topped with a fluted dentil cornice and a pediment, which features a lion mask and swags in the tympanum. Above the door is a semi-circular fanlight with leaded tracery, along with a panelled soffit and reveals. The building has a rendered plinth with two inset foot scrapers. The interior was remodelled in 1806, likely by Matson of Bridlington, and features delicate ornamentation. Craven House is part of a group that includes Nos 16 to 46 (even), 46A, 48 to 64 (even), 64A, and 66 to 100 (even).
