Description
No. 50 Low Petergate is a house and office that has been converted into a shop. It was built in 1838 by JP Pritchett for the Dean and Chapter. The building features orange-grey brick in Flemish bond, a timber shopfront, and a doorcase. It has a timber cornice with modillions and a slate roof that is hipped over an angled bay, topped with a brick stack.
The exterior consists of a four-storey, three-bay front, with the right bay angled. The shopfront includes a glazed door with a divided overlight, flanked by shallow canted four-light windows with glazing bars, all beneath a full-width plain cornice. To the right, there is a door with six sunk panels and a patterned radial fanlight, which is deeply recessed in a doorcase featuring sunk-panel pilasters adorned with drops and foliate capitals, along with a plain frieze and a dentilled cornice. The upper floor windows vary in size, with 16-pane sashes, except for a 12-pane sash in the center of the second floor. All windows have narrow painted stone sills and flat arches.
Inside, there is a straight staircase with slender turned balusters, square newels, and a flat handrail that is visible between the ground and first floors.
