Description
No. 2 and 2A High Petergate is a house and shop, now functioning as a café, dating from around 1840 with a later 19th-century shopfront that has been altered. The building features orange-grey brick in Flemish bond at the front and English garden-wall bond at the rear, with a timber shopfront and cornice. The slate roof is complemented by brick stacks.
The exterior is two stories high with a two-window front. The shopfront is framed by sunk-panel pilasters beneath a broad sunk-panel fascia and a moulded cornice supported by scrolled foliate consoles. The shop window has four lights above a raised panel riser, with paired sunk-panel doors on the right that are curved in plan and have a blocked overlight. On the left, there is a four-panel door with an overlight. The first-floor windows are 12-pane sashes with slender glazing bars and slightly cambered arches, and there is a moulded eaves cornice. The interior has not been inspected.
