33, 33A AND 35, HIGH PETERGATE (See details for further address information)

Two houses, now two shops and a flat, located on the corner of High Petergate and Stonegate in York.

The building complex has a complex history of development. No. 60 Stonegate was originally part of a 14th-century row comprising Nos. 54, 56 and 58 Stonegate. This was combined with Nos. 33 and 35 High Petergate, probably in the early 17th century. An early 18th-century extension was added at the rear of Nos. 33 and 35 High Petergate. No. 33 was altered in the early 19th century with the addition of a wing. Late 19th-century shopfronts were inserted, incorporating an early 19th-century doorcase to High Petergate with altered glazing.

The building is timber-framed with plastered fronts, largely rendered at the rear. The extension wing is constructed of orange-brown brick in Flemish bond, rendered on the gable end. The front range has pantile roofs, with slate at the rear; the wing has plain tile and pantile roofing. The building features brick stacks, timber guttering, eaves cornices and bargeboards.

The High Petergate front is three storeys with four bays. The end bays are gabled with plain bargeboards and attic windows. The Stonegate front is three storeys with three windows. The first and second floors are jettied on both adjacent fronts, with a corner dragon post dated 1646.

No. 33A features a door of six raised and fielded panels in a moulded surround to the right of a large-pane shop window, with an altered shop door beneath a continuous moulded cornice. To the left is a glazed and panelled door with divided overlight beside another large-pane shop window. Further left is a doorcase with sunk-panel pilasters and beaded consoles at the head, containing a door of six raised and fielded panels and a radial fanlight in a moulded round arch with imposts and paterae in the spandrels. The shop window to No. 60 Stonegate has three lights over a flush panel riser. A cased jetty plate forms a continuous cornice to both fronts.

On the first floor, a window to the left of centre is a square oriel with paired four-pane sashes. At the right end is a segmental bow with curved eight-pane, twelve-pane and eight-pane sashes. Between and at the left end are paired twelve-pane sashes. On the second floor are paired twelve-pane sash windows in the left end bays; at the right end, a tripartite sash window with unequal twelve-pane central sash; between is one four-pane sash. A modillioned cornice and guttering with an inverted bell rainwater head runs across. A 'County' firemark appears beneath the second floor windows to No. 35.

The Stonegate front has a glazed shop door recessed in a flush panelled reveal between plate glass windows framed in plain pilasters. First floor windows are twelve-pane sashes; on the second floor is one two-by-nine-pane Yorkshire sash. A modillioned eaves cornice with inverted bell rainwater head appears at the left end.

Interior of No. 33 High Petergate: The first floor has a stairwell balustrade of stick balusters with a turned newel and moulded handrail. The front room has a blocked fireplace with a reeded frieze, paterae and plain shelf. The room in the rear wing has a reeded door and window architraves, a door of raised and fielded panels and two reeded elliptical arches, now blocked. The door to the second floor stairs is of six sunk panels backed with raised and fielded panelling. On the second floor, exposed timber-framing is visible. The front room has a sunk-panel door and a blocked fireplace with shaped frieze and moulded shelf. The door to the attic stairs is of three raised and fielded panels.

The interiors of No. 35 High Petergate and No. 60 Stonegate are not accessible for inspection. According to the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England, No. 35 High Petergate contains a late 18th-century staircase with splat balusters to the top flight. In No. 60 Stonegate, the first floor room has a decorative plaster ceiling; plank and muntin panelling appears on the second floor. A number of two- and three-panel doors and part-glazed six- and eight-panel doors survive in different parts of the building.
