33, Stonegate

This is an early 17th-century house, later altered in the late 17th century and again in the late 19th century, and now used as a shop and offices. It is located on Stonegate, York. The front of the building is plastered and features applied timbering, while the rear is whitewashed, and the right return is built of orange brick in stretcher bond on a chamfered brick plinth, rendered in places. It has a pantile roof.

The house is three storeys and has an attic, with a single gabled bay facing the street. All upper floors are jettied. The shopfront has a recessed, glazed and panelled door, flanked by two-light windows with roller blinds, and sits below a moulded cornice supported by block brackets. The first and second-floor windows each have five mullioned and transomed lights with decorative leaded glass. There is a two-light casement window in the attic. The front has decorative timbering carved with foliage and Tudor flower ornament, incorporating a spurious date "1489" on the second-floor bressumer, and the gable has bargeboards finished with pendants and finials. Attached to the shopfront on the right is a carved devil seated on a scrolled bracket. The right return, overlooking Coffee Yard, has a 6-panel door with overlight in a 19th-century moulded architrave, along with some 20th-century metal-framed windows, a few of which retain original flat arches.

The front rooms on the interior have chamfer-stopped spine beams. A full-height staircase rises through the house, featuring a moulded close string, bulbous balusters, square newels with attached half balusters, pendants, and ball finials, and a moulded handrail. The front room on the first floor has a fireplace in a bolection-moulded surround, full-height bolection-moulded panelling including a moulded dado rail, and an overmantel panel flanked by sunk-panel pilasters, with an earlier moulded cornice. The second floor has two-panel doors, one with H-L hinges, leading to both rooms. The back room on the second floor has a small, blocked fireplace in a bolection-moulded surround. The attics contain a collar truss roof with through purlins in the front room, and a principal rafter truss roof with butt purlins in the rear room.
