Aldbrough House

Aldbrough House is a house located on Melsonby Road in Aldbrough St John. It dates from the late 17th century, with significant alterations made in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of rubble with a Welsh slate roof and features two and three storeys across a 2:3 bay layout.

The main section of the house, which is on the right, has three storeys and three bays, with quoins at the corners. The central entrance consists of a part-glazed door beneath a three-pane overlight, all set within a segmental-arched ashlar surround. This entrance is framed by engaged Tuscan columns, a frieze, a cornice, and a blocking course above. The windows are sash style, featuring glazing bars and exposed sash boxes with deep lintels. The second floor has 9-pane windows that are unequally hung, while the ground floor windows in the first and third bays, as well as the first and second floors of the third bay, are blind and painted to resemble others. There are older blocked openings visible, suggesting the house originally had two lower storeys and a half third storey. A doorway is located to the left, along with a deeper first-floor window to the right. The house has brick end stacks.

To the left, there is a two-storey range with sash windows that have glazing bars on the ground floor and 9-pane unequally-hung windows on the first floor, along with a large staircase sash window with glazing bars to the right. At the rear of the main house, the ground floor features two large tripartite sash windows with glazing bars and cornices, while the first and second floors have similar windows.

On the right return, there is a 15-pane sash window on the ground floor, with matching windows on the first and second floors. To the right, there is a blocked ground-floor three-light mullion and transom window, and on the first and second floors, there are a fire window and a three-light mullion window. The left return includes a fluted lead rainwater head. On the left side, there is said to be a stone inscribed "IHS 1633".

Inside, the house features an open well cantilevered stone staircase with metal "stick" balusters, and the doors are made of six reeded panels.
