St Johns House

St John’s House, originally a vicarage and dating to around 1830, was altered in the 20th century. It was likely designed by Thomas Taylor for Stephen Nicholson of Roundhay Park. The house is built in the Tudor style, using coursed squared gritstone with herringbone tooling, and has sawn stone surrounds. It features a slate roof with gabled ends, large ornate bargeboards with pendants, and wide eaves. A moulded string course runs along the floor level. The house is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical plan, with projecting gables and flat, two-storey bay windows with coved stone cornices on the garden front and left return. Windows have dripmoulds and chamfered reveals, with wood mullions, transoms, and glazing bars. The chimneys are grouped in octagonal shafts with crenellated caps. The interior has not been inspected.
