Description
York House is a Grade II listed building featuring painted roughcast with a slate roof and a tile ridge, along with a brick stack at the rear. The east front is irregular, consisting of a one-and-a-half storey 17th century house on the left and a two-storey 18th century addition on the right. The ground floor of the 17th century house has an off-centre entrance doorway with a segmental arch made of stone voussoirs and a six-panel door. To the right is a 17th century five-light ovolo moulded mullion window, which has a shallow timber lintel and a stone sill. On the left, there is a canted bay window topped with a hipped slate roof and featuring 2+4+2 pane sashes. The upper storey has three gabled dormers that extend below the eaves, with pierced and curvilinear bargeboards that include pierced quatrefoils at the base and decorative finials. The dormers have 17th century three-light ovolo moulded mullions with stone sills, while the gable heads are timber framed with kingposts and raking struts. The attached house on the right has a similar gable, with a two-pane casement window on the first floor and a 20th century canted bay window with a slate hood on the ground floor.
To the left of the house, there is a single-storey range with a slate roof and painted and rendered walls. The front elevation features an entrance doorway with a boarded door on the left and a broad garage entry with two pairs of boarded double doors on the right.
Inside, there is a wide stone-flagged cross passage. The ground floor room to the left has a plank and batten door with strap hinges and a fine late 17th century wall cupboard with geometrical panels, dated '1730' and bearing the initials 'TM'. The room to the right features roll-moulded ceiling beams with run-out stops and a fireplace with roll moulding on the lintel. Similar moulding is present on the jambs of the fireplace cupboard, while to the left is a spice cupboard.
