136, Micklegate

This is a three-storey, three-window town house located on Micklegate in York. It was built around 1740 and was later refronted around 1900, with a shop front added in the 20th century, commissioned for Thomas Brown of Middlethorpe. The front and left side are constructed of red brick in an English garden wall bond, with the area between the shop front and the first floor rendered. It features a timber eaves band to the front and a brick modillion cornice to the left side. The roof is tiled and pantiled, hipped at the front and M-shaped at the rear, with a brick-coped parapet concealing the valley. There is a brick stack.

The front elevation has a shop front incorporated from the adjacent properties and a recessed door, possibly original but now behind boarding. A prominent, dentil-corniced, three-light canted bay window sits in the centre of the first floor, featuring a single pane in the centre above a panelled riser. The remaining windows are single-pane sashes with cambered heads beneath flat arches. A raised brick band marks the second floor level. The rear features a three-storey, attic wing with twin gables. Ground floor windows have been partially blocked by a later outbuilding, while others are boarded up. A round-arched staircase window is also encroached upon by a later addition. Original 15-pane sashes remain on the first floor and single-pane sashes on the second floor. Raised brick bands are present on all floors.

The interior ground floor contains an entrance hall and stairhall with moulded ceiling cornices, egg-and-dart mouldings, a moulded round stairhall arch with pilasters, imposts, bases and moulded skirting. The front room has a plaster-moulded ceiling and modillion cornices. The main cantilevered staircase has slender column balusters, a serpentine moulded handrail, and a radial-glazed staircase window in a moulded round arch. A secondary staircase to the attics is notable for its thick turned balusters and flat moulded handrail. The first floor features a moulded round arch on the landing, heavy cornices and raised fielded panelling. The attic appears largely original, with two-panel doors, gypsum plaster floors and original roof timbers.
