1, OGLEFORTH (See details for further address information)

Two houses, now a restaurant, were built in the early 18th century and subsequently altered and re-roofed in the early 19th century. Further alterations and a shopfront were added in the 20th century.

The front of the building is painted brick on a brick plinth, with a stone-coped painted brick parapet. The rear is of red-brown brick in a random bond. The roof is pantiled, hipped at the corner, with brick coping and brick stacks. Dormers are half-hipped with wrought-iron corner scrolls and two-light Yorkshire sash windows.

The building is two storeys and has attics; it has a three-window front facing Ogleforth and a two-window front facing Goodramgate. The Ogleforth front has a doorcase on the left end with sunk-panel jambs, a cornice hood, and a six-panel door beneath a tall overlight. A shopfront extends at the right end to Goodramgate. The ground floor windows are twelve-pane sashes with painted stone sills; the third first-floor window is a sixteen-pane sash. All windows have painted flat arches of gauged brick. One ground-floor window incorporates a tier of re-used fielded panels. Goodramgate has a shopfront with a glazed corner door and twelve-pane sash windows on the first floor. A raised first-floor band is broken on both fronts by altered ground-floor openings. A raised eaves band sits below the tall parapet. Inverted bell rainwater heads dated 1774, initialled IH, are located at the right end of the Goodramgate front and in the centre of the Ogleforth front.

The Ogleforth house’s interior features brick fireplaces in the cellar and on the ground floor; the cellar fireplace has a cambered timber lintel, and the ground-floor one has a rebuilt lintel reusing moulded timber. The Goodramgate house retains the original staircase from the ground floor to the attics with slender turned balusters, square newels with attached half-balusters, and a square moulded and ramped handrail. Rooms on the first floor have moulded cornices and dado rails; one retains a hob grate in a plain fireplace with a segmental arched lintel. In the attic, one room has a heavily moulded round-arched fireplace. The roof incorporates pegged through purlins.
