Description
York House is a Grade II listed building, formerly the vicarage, dating from the mid-19th century. It is constructed of painted brick and features a slate roof. The house has a double range and a square plan, facing east, with four internal stacks: one against the front wall, one at the right end of the front range, and two against the rear wall. There is a single-storey extension with a flat roof on the left side, also from the mid-19th century.
The building is two storeys high with attics. The entrance elevation does not have any ground floor windows. On the first floor, there is one original sash window with six lights, which has plaster quoins and a label, alongside a dummy window with similar features at the front of the stack. The entrance is marked by half-glazed double doors with a rectangular light above, set within a Tudor Revival porch that has three Tudor arches, foliate spandrels, four head corbels, and a gable with a blank shield, all made of plastered brick.
The side elevations feature a dentilled string at the eaves level. The roof is of an M shape, with the inner pitches raised on the right return. The southern extension includes two French windows that have similar labels and quoins, topped with a crenellated parapet.
