Hicklam House

Hicklam House is a house that has been converted into a house and shop, likely built in the mid-18th century and altered over time. It is constructed of brick with limestone dressings, and features a rear wall made of limestone rubble, topped with a slate roof. The building has a square plan and stands three storeys high with a layout of three bays by three bays, including a single-storey semi-circular bay on each side.

The design is in a classical style, characterized by a plinth, rusticated stone quoins, a ground-floor sillband, and a modillioned cornice. The central doorway, which has a fanlight, is now enclosed by a flat-roofed stone porch that includes clasping pilasters, a cornice, a low parapet, and a sashed window with a sillband. The building has sashed windows with gauged brick heads and triple keystones: there are 12-pane sashes on the first floor, similar sashes on the ground floor but with altered lower leaves, and square 6-pane sashes on the second floor. The hipped roof features chimneys on the side slopes.

The return walls are similar to the front, but each front bay has a semicircular bay window. The left-hand bay window has been incorporated into an addition that extends towards the rear, while the right-hand bay has been altered to connect with a glazed addition. The rear wall is made of rubble and is enclosed at the ground floor by a passage that leads between the house and a service range at the back, which is not included in the listing.

Inside, there is an open-well staircase with an open string, scrolled brackets, two slim vase balusters per tread, and a ramped handrail that is wreathed to the curtail. At the half landing, there is an unusual Venetian screen with a modillioned cornice.
