Description

St Cuthbert's Society is a building that combines two houses, now functioning as a college. The right house dates from the 17th century, while the left house is from the early 19th century. The exterior features painted render with ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof, complete with rendered chimneys and stone gable copings. The building stands three storeys tall, with the right house displaying six irregular bays. It has a five-panel door set in a deep reveal, framed by a shouldered architrave within a circa 1900 doorcase that features a large bracketed shell hood supported by Ionic pilasters. The tympanum displays the initials I W I. The ground floor has five sash windows with glazing bars and stone cills, along with a similar sash above and a two-light casement, plus a small sash under the eaves. The roof is steeply pitched, with flat kneelers and end chimneys, and the rear elevation has three gables, with the outer gables made of ashlar.

The left house features a six-panel door on the right side and three renewed ground-floor sash windows with glazing bars, along with late 19th-century sashes above. Inside, there is a massive full-height open-well staircase with a closed string, twist balusters, a wide handrail, and square newels topped with renewed ball finials. The ground floor also includes two-panelled hall doors set in bolection architraves, one adorned with terms carrying sheaves of corn and the other with lion masks.
