House. c1700, altered c1780 and early C19. Brick in Flemish

EXTERIOR: main building symmetrical, of 3 storeys (originally

the facade has 2 brick storey bands and a modillioned gutter
cornice. The windows are glazing bar sashes with rubbed brick
flat arches. The stucco doorcase has rusticated pilasters, a
lintel with false voussoirs, and a modillion cornice. The
overlight has lozenge-pattern glazing and the door has 6
raised and fielded panels. The gables are coped, with a
chimney at the right-hand end of the ridge. To the left there
is a 2-storey wing with a pantiled roof behind a parapet. On
the ground floor it has an elliptical rubbed brick carriage
arch with stone impost blocks and a keystone. Recessed within
the opening there is a C20 brick wall with a glazing bar sash
window. To the right of the archway there is a glazing bar
sash window matching those to the main house, and on the 1st
floor there is a similar window in an altered opening.
INTERIOR: RCHM records a fine original staircase with twisted
balusters to the lowest flight, and with bulbous turned
balusters to upper floors, all with square newels and a
moulded and ramped handrail.
HISTORICAL NOTE: in 1798, the house was bought by the Rev.
Charles Wellbeloved. In 1803 he became Principal of Manchester
College, a dissenting academy which moved to York from
Manchester in that year and was accommodated in his house
until 1811.
