53, Goodramgate

No. 53 Goodramgate is a house that has been converted into a shop and offices. It dates from the late 17th century and has undergone later alterations, including partial rebuilding around 1900 and a 20th-century shopfront. The shopfront is made of timber, while the first floor is plastered, and the attic is constructed of orange brick in English garden-wall bond, topped with moulded brick coping and a pantile roof.

The building has two storeys and an attic, featuring a three-window front with a shaped gable facing the street. The shopfront includes elliptical arched lights with colonnette mullions and a broad fascia. The first-floor windows are 12-pane sashes with painted sills, and the attic has one 12-pane sash window with a segmental pediment hood. A massive moulded cornice runs along the eaves. At the rear, the attic window retains part of its segmental pediment.

Inside, there are paired round arches leading to the former stair hall. The close string staircase features bulbous balusters, square newels, and a moulded handrail, while the first floor is recorded to have more slender balusters.
