Description
St John's College Third Part is a house that now serves as a college, built in the early 18th century. The exterior features rough render with a painted ashlar plinth and dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof and a renewed brick chimney. The building stands three storeys high and has five windows with irregular spacing. The central entrance consists of a half-glazed door framed by an architrave, topped with a radial fanlight and a bracketed open pediment. To the right of the main door is a recessed four-panel door with a four-pane overlight above it. The windows are sashes with glazing bars, some of which have been renewed, and they all have projecting stone sills, except for the stair windows in the first bay, which feature flat wide sills and wide glazing bars. There is one external shutter located to the left of the main door.
Inside, the building has a dog-leg closed-string stair with a grip handrail supported by barley-sugar twist balusters and square newels that have finials and pendants. The landings are adorned with moulded cornices, and there is a panelled dado. The ground floor panelled room has been extended to the rear in a reproduction style. This building is part of the former Bowes family house.
