7 and 9 Gowthorpe

Commercial properties formerly with accommodation above and with rear ranges, of the early- to mid-C19 and altered in the C19, C20 and C21.

MATERIALS: fair-faced brown bricks, slate to front roof pitch, pantiles to rear pitch and ranges.

PLAN: three-storey front range aligned east-west, with long one- and two-storey rear ranges.

EXTERIOR: the front facade is of three storeys and four bays, in Flemish Bond brickwork. The ground floor of number 7 has a late-C19 style double-fronted shop window, while number 9 has a modern shopfront with brick surrounds, both with plain fascias. Above this are four windows to each floor, all six-over-six flush-framed sash windows with horns, and all with painted projecting stone sills and flush wedge lintels. The rendered west gable is partially obscured by an adjacent attached property and only the gable is fully exposed. The pitched roof is clad in Welsh slate, with PVC rainwater goods supported by a timber bracketed eaves board. A truncated brick chimney stack abuts the adjacent property to the east, at the ridge.
