17-19 Gowthorpe

17-19 Gowthorpe is a shop with accommodation above, built in the early to mid-19th century, with alterations made in the 20th and 21st centuries. It was previously listed as 15 and 17 Gowthorpe.

The building features a sub-rectangular plan and is constructed of stuccoed and fair-faced brick, topped with semi-hipped cement tile roofs.

On the main (north) elevation, the ground floor includes a large modern plate glass shop window on the left and a modern double-fronted shop front on the right. This shop front has a window in a former canted corner entrance position and a side window facing Audus Street. It features projecting sills, plain recessed painted stall risers, and a plain deep fascia. The first floor, which is stuccoed, has a pair of casement windows beneath painted flat lintels.

The east elevation has a coped gable with kneelers, partially stuccoed and painted, with the remaining section in fair-faced brickwork. It includes a small casement window at the first and attic floors. The north-west corner is rounded and features a rectangular painted ashlar panel inscribed with "AUDUS STREET" and the date "1840."

The west elevation has a blind ground floor with a semi-glazed door on the right. The first floor has a pair of horned sash windows with exposed sash boxes beneath flat lintels and projecting painted ashlar sills. The rear (south) elevation is mostly obscured by the attached number 2 Audus Street, but the right-hand bay is visible and has a first-floor doorway flanked by a casement window. This doorway leads to the roof of a modern flat-roofed extension against the ground-floor elevation. The semi-hipped roof has timber eaves fascia boards, supporting plastic guttering drained by cast-iron storm boxes and down-pipes.
