Garforth House And Railings Attached At Front, Garden Wall Attached At Rear, Grade I architectural monument in Micklegate, York, England.

Garforth House displays orange-red brick construction in Flemish bond, featuring decorative stone coped gables and a double span slate roof with brick stacks.

Built in 1757 for Edmund and Elizabeth Garforth, the house later transformed into St. Margaret's School and underwent modifications in the late nineteenth century.

The interior preserves stone-paved floors with marble inserts, enriched moldings, and detailed plaster ceilings that demonstrate eighteenth-century English craftsmanship.

Located at 54 Micklegate with coordinates 53.9575 latitude and -1.08783 longitude, the building maintains its original wrought-iron railings and window guards.

The main staircase incorporates cantilevered treads and fluted column balusters, while multiple fireplaces retain their raised and fielded paneling throughout the house.
