Description
York House is a house dating from around 1820, situated on the west side of Bridge Street in Witney. It is constructed of limestone ashlar to the front, with coursed rubble at the rear. The roof is slate, edged with stone gables, and features moulded ashlar stacks at the ends. The house follows a double-depth plan.
The front facade has three storeys and a two-window arrangement. A rebated semi-circular architrave frames an early 19th-century six-panel door, complete with a fanlight, on the right-hand side. A semi-circular architrave defines a 20th-century plank door on the left. The central ground-floor window is a six-pane sash within a segmental-headed, revealed flat architrave. A raised band marks the first floor, above which are similar sashes with shorter attic windows, all within flat-arched architraves. The building is finished with a moulded cornice below a parapet. The interior remains unexamined.
