Description

Mount Grace House is a Grade II* listed building located in North Yorkshire, originally serving as the gatehouse to Mount Grace Priory. It dates back to the 15th century and 17th century, with restorations and extensions made in 1901. The structure is built of ashlar and coursed squared stone, featuring graduated stone slate and pantile roofs.

On the right side is the 17th-century section, which has a date of 1654, consisting of two storeys with attics and seven bays. The left side is the 15th-century section, which has two bays with scattered windows. The 17th-century part includes offset angle buttresses on the right and between the first and second bays. At the center, there is a full-height porch with a board door inside. The doorway features a four-centred arch with a gabled hoodmould and the date "1654" inscribed.

There is a first-floor band and a three-light mullion-and-transom window on the first floor, complete with a hoodmould. The eaves band is topped with an embattled parapet adorned with ball finials. All windows are three-light mullion-and-transom windows with hoodmoulds, with the ground floor windows being slightly larger than those above. The three right-hand bays have a moulded stone cornice, and above one bay is a 20th-century dormer. The other bays also feature embattled parapets.

Above the porch and between the two left-hand bays are gabled dormers with ball finials; the left dormer has a three-light mullion window, while the right has a six-light sash window. The left part from the 15th century has three offset angle buttresses. To the right is a shouldered-headed doorway, above which is a two-light mullion-and-transom window, and to its right is a single-light window with a four-centred arch. Other windows in this section are single-light chamfered openings, except for one on the left of the first floor, which has two lights. There are four 20th-century dormers above this section. The building features three ridge stacks, with end stacks; the left stack is a large external stack with an embattled top, while the others have plinths, bands, two shafts, and moulded cornices. The rear of the building has been significantly altered since 1901, and the interior has also undergone changes.
