Description
York House, with railings to the forecourt, is a house dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed of limestone that is rendered and lined, with a roof that is not visible. The house has three storeys and five bays. There are three steps leading up to a wide six-panel door with a fanlight, which is flanked by Tuscan columns that support a fluted entablature and a dentilled triangular pediment.
On the ground floor, there are sash windows, with glazing bars in the top half of the windows on the right. The first floor features sash windows with glazing bars set in flush wood architraves. The second floor has two-light 20th-century casements in flush wood frames. The building has a ground-floor sill band and projecting sills on the first and second floors. All windows have projecting keystones beneath the rendering. The eaves cornice is moulded and dentilled, and there are white brick end stacks.
The forecourt is flanked by four short lengths of iron railings, with bars that have foliate finials and a top rail that ends in a scroll. This building was occupied by the military during the Second World War and was empty at the time of the resurvey.
