Description

St. Nicholas House is a house built around 1810, constructed from coursed squared limestone, with the left side rendered and a roof made of Welsh slate. The building has two storeys and features two windows. On the left side, there is a six-panelled door beneath an oblong fanlight, set in a deep, panelled reveal within a doorcase that includes fluted pilasters, oval panels in the frieze, and a cornice. The windows are sash style, without glazing bars, and have projecting cills on the ground floor, a cill band on the first floor, and flat stone lintels. The hipped roof is topped with a corniced yellow brick chimney stack located between the house and the adjacent property. A round plaque on the left commemorates Nicholas Wood, who lived there.
