42, Stonegate

No. 42 Stonegate is a house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from the early 18th century and incorporates a 17th-century wing at the rear, with mid-19th-century alterations and a modified shopfront. The front is constructed of orange-brown brick in Flemish bond, accented with red brick dressings, while the rear is made of red-brown brick in English garden-wall bond. The building features a cornice and shopfront made of timber, and it has pantile roofs with brick stacks.

The exterior consists of three storeys and attics, with a three-window front. The shopfront is framed by plain pilasters and features a coved frieze and a plain cornice supported by scrolled terminal brackets. The first-floor windows are one-pane sashes, while the second-floor windows are four-pane sashes, all with narrow painted sills and flat arches made of gauged brick. There is a four-course raised brick band at the second floor, and the cornice has boxed guttering supported by paired modillions. The attic window is a square dormer with a two-light window.

At the rear, there are three-storey twin-gabled ranges with attics. The ground floor is obscured by a later extension, but the first and second floors feature 16-pane sash windows. The left gable end has a two-by-four-pane Yorkshire sash, while the right gable end has one blocked window and one inserted window, all with flat arches of brick. There are raised brick bands at the second and attic floors.

Inside, the ground floor includes a staircase with close strings, turned balusters, square newels with attached half-balusters, and a ramped-up handrail.
