Description
St John's House is a surviving fragment of the Chapel of St John's Hospital, now functioning as a house. It dates from the 16th century, with earlier fragments present. The building is constructed of rubble, featuring a Welsh slate roof on the left gable and old tiles on the right. It has a central brick multiple stack and an additional brick stack at the right rear. The layout consists of three units.
The left unit is three storeys high and has a single-window range. It includes a restored two-storey arch from the chapel, which contains late 19th-century brickwork and a three-light casement on the first floor, along with a four-light casement on the ground floor. Above this, there is a 20th-century two-light casement under a timber lintel.
The right unit is a single storey with an attic and features a two-window range. It has 20th-century wood mullion and transom casements under a timber lintel, and to the left, there is a 20th-century wood cross window with casements and an 18th-century oak six-panel door under a common lintel. There are two 17th-century timber-frame and plaster gable dormers above, each with 19th-century casements beneath simple hoods.
The far right unit is lower and shallower, with a 20th-century wood mullion and transom window with casements under an oak lintel. The right gable contains 20th-century brickwork and an earlier two-light casement with lattice glazing. The left returned side has two late 19th-century 2/2 sash windows on the first and second floors, with roughcast and rubble walls that expose some dressed stone at the ground floor, which also has a three-light casement and a Welsh slate roof.
Inside, the house features 17th and 18th-century doors, exposed timber framing, and ceiling beams. There is an exposed arch and a chamfered stone fireplace in the ground floor left area, along with a winder staircase that has stick balusters.
