Description

Toft Green Chambers is a pair of houses, later used as offices, built around 1845. They were designed by G.T. Andrews for the York and North Midland Railway Company. The front of the building is pink-cream brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with ashlar doorcases. The side walls are red-grey brick in an English bond pattern. The roof is slate with a single brick stack in the centre, and a timber eaves cornice.

The building has a basement and three storeys, with a five-bay front. Each end of the front features a doorcase with pilasters, moulded imposts, and an entablature, sheltering a four-panel door above a divided overlight. The windows are twelve-pane sashes with slender glazing bars; the windows on the second floor are shorter than those below. The centre window on each floor is a blind window. All windows have flat arches of rubbed brick, and all except those on the first floor have painted stone sills. A raised sill band is present on the first-floor windows. A bold eaves cornice, supported by shaped brackets, extends across the side walls, forming a cornice to the pedimented gable ends. The interior has not been inspected.
