Description
Highgate House, formerly known as Radio House, is a gas showroom located on the west side of Beverley Wednesday Market. This building dates from the mid to late 18th century and features two storeys and an attic constructed of red brick. It has a pantile roof with a parapet that has painted stone coping, and a moulded eaves cornice. The building includes a fluted lead rainwater head, two gabled dormers with bargeboards, and three windows with rusticated lintels and keystones. The hung sashes have glazing bars, and there are cill bands, with the ground floor cill band interrupted by a shop front that includes pilasters, an entablature, and a dentil cornice.
The modern glazed door features a rectangular fanlight above, adorned with ornamental consoles, paterae, a grooved entablature, and a dentil cornice. The elevation facing Lord Roberts Road has a rebuilt gable end. In the rear wing, there are four windows with stone heads and cills, along with one altered three-light window. A doorway, relocated from another site, features attached Doric columns, a plain lintel, a modillion cornice, and an ornamental arched fanlight above a six-panel door. There is also a modern door in a former window opening.
Inside, the staircase has an open string with carved ornamentation below each tread, fluted Ionic columnar newels, a moulded handrail, and a semi-spiral curtail with a 19th-century terminal newel and alternately iron-twist balusters. The landing and stairs are finished with moulded panelling at dado height. One room on the first floor has fielded panelling, now combined with another room that features sunk panelling only up to dado height. The doorway in the front room downstairs has a moulded architrave and a deeply moulded cornice. Both the staircase and the doorway are similar to those found in No. 62 North Bar Without.
