Cavalry House, Duke Of Yorks Headquarters

Cavalry House, part of the Duke of York's Headquarters, is a cavalry barracks that has been converted into offices. It was built in the early to mid-19th century and was completely rebuilt internally around 1994. The exterior is made of yellow stock brick with rubbed brick and limestone detailing, featuring brick ridge stacks, although the roof is not visible. The building is designed in a late Georgian style and has a single-depth plan.

The exterior consists of three storeys and a 19-window range, with a symmetrical front. The design includes two-window sections, with one window from the end set forward. The ground floor features a blind round-arched arcade with imposts and moulded archivolts. There are cill bands on the first and second floors, along with a string and cornice at the blocking course. The central entrance has a flat-headed raised surround that is set forward, with a cornice and a keyed round-arched doorway that leads to a recessed late 20th-century door. The ground floor has rubbed brick round-arched and flat-arched upper floor 6/6-pane sash windows.

Although the interior has been completely rebuilt, Cavalry House remains an intact example of one of the few barracks constructed between the Napoleonic and Crimean Wars, and it contributes to a significant group with the Duke of York's Headquarters.
