49, Kirkgate

No 49 on Kirkgate is a late 18th-century house that has been converted into offices. It is built from pinkish-brown brick in Flemish bond, featuring red brick and magnesian limestone ashlar dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The building stands three stories tall and has three bays. At the base, there is a magnesian limestone plinth and quoining at the ends. The entrance is located on the left side, accessed by four steps with a plain wrought-iron balustrade leading to a six-fielded-panel door. This door is set beneath an oblong fanlight and is framed by a painted ashlar eared architrave, which is topped with a pulvinated frieze and a triangular pediment. The windows are fitted with sashes that have plate glass, and they feature ashlar cills and flat arches made of red gauged brick with ashlar keystones. An ashlar modillion eaves band runs along the top, and there is an ashlar kneeler and coping on the right gable. The building has end stacks. Inside, there are shutters on the ground floor window, although the interior has not been fully inspected.
