351, High Street

This is a brewery mansion, dating to the early 18th century, with a refronting in the early 19th century and 20th-century alterations, including a shop front extension. The building is constructed of painted brick with slate roofs. It is three storeys high and has four bays. The ground floor features an early 20th-century shop front with two angle and two central pilasters, plate glass windows, a pair of double doors, a cornice, and a flat roof following the original house line. The first and second floors contain twelve-pane sashes with glazing bars, and six-pane upper sashes, all set within stucco architraves from around 1800. These architraves have incised lines and Greek key decoration. A plat band sits above the second floor, topped with a cornice and a hipped roof. The east return has four first and four second-floor openings within early 18th-century cambered brick arches, with three windows blocked on each floor, one window remaining open. There is a single 16-pane sash window on the ground floor.

Inside, a fine early 18th-century staircase has three turned balusters per step, columned ends, a newel post, and carved tread ends with floral decoration. Oak dado panelling includes fluted pilasters. The second floor has two rooms with full-height panelling, pilastered wooden fireplaces, and three early 19th-century cast iron firegrates. The first floor has panelled doors, full-height panelling including internal doors and window shutters, a dumb waiter, two early 19th-century marble fireplaces with cast iron firegrates, and a private chapel containing a window with intersecting tracery and stained glass, three Gothick arches, and an ecclesiastical-style fireplace with a cast iron firegrate. The ground floor incorporates two mid-19th-century marble fireplaces with paterae and cast iron firegrates, a 19th-century mahogany toilet with blue and white china pan, and joinery including a balcony. The basement features two 19th-century cast iron ranges and a stone sink.

Originally, the east side included a large brick-built recess containing an iron water wheel. When activated, water filling copper pockets caused the wheel to revolve, emptying into the stone sink and turning a kitchen spit. This wheel is now located in the garden of Eastgate House Museum. The retaining walls opposite and garden eyecatcher, which now form part of St Bartholomew's hospital, originally belonged to the mansion's garden south of the High Street and are listed separately.
