Description
Leicester Frith Hospital Mansion, Block 01 is a small country house, now serving as hospital offices, built in 1870 in the Jacobean Revival style. The building features random granite rubble with ashlar dressings and roofs made of Swithland slate. It has ridge stacks with multiple octagonal coped flues, a plinth, quoins, and a first-floor sill band. The structure is two storeys high with attics and has a seven-window range in an L-plan layout.
The entrance front includes a projecting central bay topped with a shaped coped gable and finial. It has a round-arched ashlar doorcase with a mask keystone, flanked by Renaissance Revival pilasters and topped with a cornice. Above this doorcase is a four-light cross mullioned window, and above that, a single window with a cornice and crest, set in a shaped coped gable. The side bays display asymmetrical fenestration with several mullioned windows beneath a parapet. The projecting end bays each feature a two-storey canted bay window with a balustrade, and above these are single windows set in coped gables.
The right return of the building has a square tower porch with a balustrade and a projecting gabled bay to its right. Inside, the entrance hall showcases moulded cornices and panelled cross beams. There is an open-well wooden staircase with a square-turned balustrade, illuminated by a canted bay window with shafts and an enriched cornice. The half-landing features a foliage cornice and a ceiling boss. The first-floor landing has a light well with a wooden balustrade beneath a coved ceiling with a rectangular clerestorey. The front room on the first floor boasts a coved strapwork ceiling and two 19th-century hanging lamps.
