Description
The Gashouse is a disused structure from the mid to late 19th century, built for the Duke of Leeds of Hornby Castle. It is constructed of brick and features a Welsh slate roof. The building is one and a half storeys tall and has two first-floor windows, with a single-storey range extending at right angles to the right side. The roof has a raised and louvred apex.
The north elevation is gabled, featuring a central blocked doorway with a segmental-arched lintel, and similar lintels above the first-floor windows. There is also a blocked oculus in the gable and a raised verge detailed at the apex with a raised and louvred ridge. At the west end of the lower range, there are double board doors beneath a timber lintel, creating a cart entrance.
Inside, there are fragments of retorts at the south end, along with metal-framed roof trusses and a boarded roof. This building is a rare example of an estate gashouse in this part of North Yorkshire.
