Bishopthorpe Garth

Bishopthorpe Garth is a house built in 1908 by Walter Brierley, with later additions. It is constructed from pinkish brown hand-made brick in English bond and features a pantile roof. The building has a dog-leg layout, consisting of a two-storey, two-bay wing on the left, a single-storey with attic two-bay centre, and a slightly projecting two-storey, single-bay wing on the right. The entrance is located in a porch between the left wing and the centre, featuring a panelled oak door. The house has leaded casement windows throughout, with moulded cill bands, and a straight-headed dormer in the centre range. The gables are adorned with moulded brick decoration, and there are ridge and side stacks with dentil moulding. The central section is topped with a catslide roof. Inside, there is a Jacobean revival open-well oak staircase and other original features, including doors and fireplaces.
