Full Description

The traditional late Victorian townhouse built in the early 20th century is a notable rare local example of the work of the Arts and Crafts architect Fred Rowntree, the second cousin of Seebohm Rowntree. The building is of pale brick with red brick dressings and stone-mullioned windows and contains a grand staircase. The townhouse has had sympathetic extensions, as it was used as an office space in the late 20th century and later converted into flats. Along with No. 310 and 312 Tadcaster Road, the houses are fine examples of turn-of-the-century English domestic architecture. Together they mark the extension of the City of York adding character along Tadcaster Road towards the village of Dringhouses.
