St Nicholas House

St Nicholas House is a former vicarage, now offices, built in 1879 by William Watkins of Lincoln for the Rev. F W Blenkin. It is constructed in the Queen Anne Revival style using red brick and tile hanging, with a hipped plain tile roof and four tall decorated brick stacks.

The exterior features a first-floor dentil brick band and white plaster coved eaves. The west front is irregular, with four bays and an off-centre doorway framed by a pedimented brick surround and a panelled door. A large external stack rises through the jettied and tile-hung upper floor, extending through a hipped dormer above. A round-headed stair window with small glazing bars is positioned to the left of the doorway. A recessed section includes a small window and two arches supporting a sleeping balcony with a balustrade, containing two sash windows. Further along, three boarded sashes are present, and above them, a canted three-light oriel window with sashes.

The south front features a four-light canted bay window to the left, with three casement windows above, the central one extending to the floor with glazed doors. To the right is a two-storey, three-light canted bay window with a hipped roof, cross casements and keystones to the upper windows. Above, a single hipped dormer is covered in tile hanging.

The east front displays a three-window canted bay, with two boarded windows to the right and a single window above with a keystone. Two hipped dormers, both with tile-hung cheeks, are situated above. Beyond this is an irregularly fenestrated service wing, notable for a small porthole and a tall stair light.

The interior retains the original staircase and pierced screen, along with an upper plaster barrel vaulted ceiling. Original features include a single ground floor fireplace, doors, and skirting.
