The front has an early door and doorcase, with a radial fanlight above. Most windows are sashes, but some have been blocked, with the southwestern rooms on the upper floors instead lit by bay windows in the gable end. There is also a blocked doorway, in which a reused font has been placed.Inside the house, many original features survive, including the main staircase, a first floor fireplace with decoration by Thomas Wolstenholme, and a decorated second-floor grate. One adjoining doorway into the former almonry of the abbey has been converted into a cupboard.

Marygate is a street in York, England, running just north of the city centre. Built in the Middle Ages, it gets its name from St Mary's Abbey and the Viking word "gata," meaning street.

The street runs south-west, from Bootham, down to the River Ouse.
