York House

York House is a house dating from around 1840, located in Robin Hood's Bay. It is constructed with incised rendered walls and has a Welsh slate roof with bargeboards and spike finials. The house has no chimneys and is oriented with a gable end facing the road.

The house is two storeys high, with an attic and a basement, and has two windows. The main entrance is through a top-glazed panelled door, set within a pilaster-and-entablature surround featuring a modillion cornice. To the right of the entrance is a square oriel window, supported by brackets, with a cast iron top guard and a fragment of a ship's stem post fixed in the centre. The first floor has two four-pane sash windows set in chamfered openings, and a similar window is located in the attic, with a keystone above it. The basement has two 20th-century windows within chamfered surrounds, accompanied by 20th-century area railings. A bargeboard is positioned on the gable end. This building has group value, contributing to the character of the area.
