Description
Swale House is a mid-18th century building, originally of three windows, now with six following a later 18th century extension to the right. The building is constructed of coursed stone with a Welsh slate roof. It has a moulded stone cornice and a stone blocking course running throughout. Two 19th-century dormers are present on the right side, featuring carved bargeboards. The original windows retain their original glazing bars, are set within plain stone frames, and incorporate triple keystones. A modern porch, built to resemble ashlar, has been added. The extension’s windows are in plain reveals with rusticated keystones, and a six-panel door is set within a plain stone frame with a rusticated keystone. Swale House forms a group with the York County Savings Bank buildings at Nos. 4 to 10 (even).
