72, Low Petergate

No. 72 Low Petergate is a house that has been converted into offices. It dates from the mid-18th century, with a mid-19th century extension, and underwent renovation in 1968, with a shopfront added around 1990. The building features painted brick in Flemish bond, while the right return is in brown brick in English garden-wall bond. It has timber box guttering supported by paired modillions and a pantile roof with a truncated brick stack.

The exterior is three stories high with a four-window front. The shopfront has grooved pilasters and a cornice on paired grooved brackets. The shop door is margin-glazed, and there is a passage door to the left with sunk panels; both doors have divided overlights. The first-floor windows are 4-pane sashes, while the second-floor windows are Yorkshire sashes with 2x1 panes. All windows have moulded sills and painted flat arches made of gauged brick with triple keyblocks. A moulded band runs along the second floor.

Inside, there is a close string staircase with a column on vase balusters, a turned newel, and a heavy moulded handrail that is ramped up from the ground floor to the attic. The back room on the first floor features a 19th-century moulded fireplace.
