Description
42, 42A, 44, and 46 Low Petergate is a row of three houses with shops, now converted into two shops and flats, built in 1839 with altered shopfronts. The buildings are constructed of orange-grey brick in Flemish bond, featuring timber shopfronts and timber guttering supported by grooved brackets. The roof is covered with pantiles and has brick stacks.
The exterior consists of a three-storey front with three windows. The shopfronts include plain pilasters with moulded imposts, plain fascias, and cornices. The windows feature two large lights, with two shopfronts having moulded panel risers, and the shop doors are glazed and panelled. There is a four-panel door at the left end and a six-panel door at the right, both with overlights. The first-floor windows are 12-pane sashes, while the second-floor windows are unequal 9-pane sashes, all with painted stone sills and flat brick arches. The interior has not been inspected.
