4, 6 And 8, Low Ousegate

This is a pair of houses with shops located at 4, 6, and 8 Low Ousegate, built between 1810 and 1820, featuring 20th-century shopfronts. The buildings are constructed from orange-brown brick in Flemish bond and have a timber cornice, topped with a shallow pitched slate roof and a truncated brick stack.

The exterior consists of a four-storey, four-bay front. The shopfront on the left is framed with plain pilasters and has a moulded cornice supported by thin brackets at the pilaster heads. It features glazed and panelled doors at each end, with a three-light window above a panelled stall riser. The shopfront on the right is made of aluminium with plate glazing.

All upper floor windows are one-pane sashes, except for two twelve-pane sashes on the second floor of the house to the right and two on the third floor, where the original unequal nine-pane sashes have been replaced with one-pane lower sashes. All windows have stone sills, some of which are painted or damaged, and feature flat arches made of orange rubbed and gauged brick. The moulded eaves cornice includes guttering. The interior has not been inspected.
