12 New Street, Selby (formerly the Rose and Crown Public House)

12 New Street in Selby, formerly known as the Rose and Crown Public House, is a former public house and hotel that dates from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. It has since been converted into flats and apartments.

The building features stuccoed main elevations, a fair-faced brick rear elevation, and a pitched roof covered with pantiles. It has an L-shaped plan.

The exterior showcases a three-storey, five-bay main elevation facing New Street, which includes four flush 12-light sash windows on each floor, with a blind window space in the right-hand bay of the first and second floors. The ground floor bays are irregular, and the off-centre plain timber front door is accompanied by a rectangular fanlight and a plain pilastered timber surround, all beneath a flat moulded cornice. The irregular three-bay south-west elevation has 12-light sash windows on all three floors and an offset doorway with a rectangular fanlight. Both elevations are adorned with oval cast-iron tie plates.

The rear south-east facing elevation is mostly blind, except for a ground-floor door on the right-hand side. The rear two-bay north-east facing elevation features a 12-light sash window and a doorway on the ground floor, a pair of similar sashes on the first floor, and a pair of six-light sashes on the second floor. The rendered north-east gable displays mock quoining and a chimney stack at its apex. The south-east gable has a raised and coped verge with kneelers and is largely obscured by a modern attached building. The pitched roof includes a central chimney stack, a smaller chimney stack against the coped verge, and paired brackets at the eaves that support modern heritage guttering.
