48, Goodramgate

This building, located at 48 Goodramgate in York, is a house that has been converted into an estate agency. It dates from around 1700, with earlier origins, and was remodeled in the late 18th century. There have been further alterations over time, including a re-roofing and shopfront added in the 20th century. The structure is timber-framed with a stucco front and features a pantile roof that is hipped at the front, along with a rebuilt brick stack.

The exterior has three storeys and a three-window front. The shopfront includes a former passage arch on the left side. The upper floor windows are 12-pane sashes with painted sills, and the first-floor windows are taller. An eaves frieze rests on shaped brackets.

Inside, fragments of timber-framing can be seen on the second floor. A close string staircase with bulbous balusters, square newels with attached half balusters and pendants, and a flat moulded handrail leads from the ground floor to the second floor. The ground floor features an area of stone-flagged flooring that survives from the former passage. On the first floor, there is one re-used early 18th-century three-panel door and a reset door architrave carved with shell and leaf motifs. On the second floor, the front rooms have basket grates in plain fireplaces, and a plank door with pegged-on panelling leads to the attic.
