Nelson House Including Steps And Railings To Front

Nelson House, located at No. 29 on the north side of Fulneck, is a late 18th-century building that now partly serves as a girl's school with flats above. The house features a mid-19th century bay window and is constructed from hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has three bays. The building is characterized by quoins and a plinth.

The central doorway, framed by monolithic jambs, is accessed via a double flight of six stone steps, which are accompanied by cast-iron rod railings topped with decorative wrought-iron hoops that are braced to the wall. Above the entrance, there is a single-light window on each floor. The flanking bays contain two-light flat-faced mullioned windows on both floors. The ground floor of the third bay has been altered to include a flat-roofed canted bay window with a sill band. The first-floor windows of the outer bays are adorned with wrought-iron window boxes. The attic windows, which are set under the eaves, are shorter and blind. The building features paired gutter brackets and has coped gables with end stacks, along with mid-20th century roof dormers.

Historically, this house was the residence of Charles Sebastian Nelson, an architect from Leeds, who played the organ at Fulneck Chapel. It is part of the Moravian settlement of Fulneck.
