1A And 1B, High Petergate

1A and 1B High Petergate is a pair of former houses with shops, now functioning as one shop and a maisonette. They date from the early 19th century and were altered and refronted in 1834, with renovations around 1970. The building features orange-grey brick in Flemish bond at the front and English garden-wall bond at the rear, with a timber shopfront and timber guttering supported by paired block modillions. The roof is covered with pantiles and has stone coping and brick stacks.

The exterior consists of a three-storey, two-bay front. The shopfront is framed by grooved 'Soanian' pilasters beneath a plain entablature, with paired shop doors that are margin-glazed and panelled, located beneath bordered overlights and flanked by small-pane windows over moulded panelled risers. The first and second floor windows are 16-pane sashes with narrow painted sills and painted and channelled wedge lintels. At the rear, 1A features paired margin-glazed doors beneath an elliptical arch on the ground floor, 16-pane sash windows on the first floor, and a squat 9-pane sash and a 2x6-pane Yorkshire sash on the second floor. There is a small tablet inscribed 'IOHN TILNEY' beneath the eaves at the left end. The right return has a concave-fronted porch with a plain pilaster and cornice doorcase, a 6-panel door, and an overlight, along with 2x6-pane Yorkshire sash windows on the first and second floors. The interior has not been inspected.
