Dunroyal House

Dunroyal House is a house, likely dating from the late 16th century, with alterations and additions made in the 18th century and later. The front is timber-framed on the first floor, with plaster infill, while the rest of the exterior is brick. It has a steeply pitched roof covered with swept pantiles and a stone coping on the right side. The house originally had four bays, with a narrow passage bay in the second position, and was probably aisled on three sides, with a passage running behind the chimney. It is two storeys high. The two bays on the left have been largely rebuilt and the roof raised. The garden front has a large wagon door on the left side and a small projection dating from the late 19th century. The first floor has early 19th-century sash windows. The right-hand side has early 19th-century sash windows with glazing bars and a half-glazed door. The interior features high-quality timberwork, including moulded beams, and an early 18th-century staircase with a cut string, two turned balusters per tread, and a ramped handrail. The roof has stout coupled rafters with collars. The timberwork is of high quality, and the moulded beams are particularly notable in the Vale of York.
