Description

This is a 17th-century house that has been divided into two separate properties, numbered 4 and 6 Boroughgate. The front elevation is constructed of ashlar stone and has a stone slate roof. Remnants of the original 17th-century details survive on No. 4, including kneeler stones and gable coping. The windows are hung sashes set within stone architraves, and lack glazing bars. The ground floor of No. 4 is now occupied by a modern shop front. No. 6 has three windows, with two windows on the right side joined together, all similarly framed by stone architraves. A panelled door is set within a stone surround with a cornice. A stone architrave also frames a panelled door to the right.

The only remaining evidence of the 17th-century origins on the front of the building is a string course and some decorative elements above the foundations and forming a plinth. The plinth features carved volutes that are similar to those at East Riddlesden Hall near Keighley, dating to around 1640. At the rear of the building, the windows date to the 18th century, and some retain original leaded glazing from that period; two of these are six-light windows.

Numbers 4 and 6 Boroughgate combine to form a group with the properties at numbers 2 to 8 (even) on Boroughgate, and numbers 16 to 20 (even) on Market Place. They also combine with a garden alcove situated at the rear of No. 6.
