In right of centre bay, C19 cart arch beneath massive lintel, now closed by wrought-iron gates.

On first floor, three original segmental arches survive over later windows. INTERIOR: of No.3: exposed chamfer-stopped beams and joists on both floors, supported on ground floor by dwarf Doric column. Against left end wall, later fireplace survives to brick chimney hood, visible on first floor. On first floor, two rooms have early C19 fireplaces with cast-iron grates. RCHM file records a blocked 2-light window in the gable wall of No.3, with timber-frame and mullion. Interior of No.5 not inspected. This is an interesting example of a rural vernacular house-type, unusual in an urban setting and unique in York.
