Description
No. 18 Castlegate is a house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from the early 18th century but has earlier origins. The building was renovated around 1986, which included a new shopfront. Originally timber-framed, it is now encased in brick, with the front painted. The façade features painted stone architraves and a renewed moulded cornice. The roof is slate at the front and pantile at the back, with brick stacks.
The exterior is three stories high with a three-bay front. The shopfront includes a glazed door situated between bracketed windows. The upper floor windows are 12-pane sashes set in raised architraves with sills, and the center window on the first floor has a pediment. The center windows on both floors are enclosed in a shallow raised panel with a rebated head. There is a raised band on the first floor that is interrupted by the center panel.
The interior has not been inspected, but records from the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England indicate that elements of the original timber-framing of the full-height hall were exposed in the rear wall during the renovations in 1986. In 1852, the house was recorded as the Rectory of St Mary's Church, Castlegate, which is now known as The York Story.
