Description
The gateway of St Nicholas's Hospital and St Nicholas's Farmhouse is a Grade II listed structure that originally served as a chantry house, dating from the 16th century or earlier and remodelled in 1685.
The building features a timber-framed construction, partly rebuilt in brick, with plaster and brick infill, and some areas of tile-hanging, topped with a tiled roof. The gateway is located at the south-east end of the range and includes a pedestrian archway on the ground floor, flanked by heavy timber posts. Above the archway is a half-hipped gable that contains an attic window. This gable is plastered on the north-east front and tile-hung on the south-west, both oversailing on a bressumer.
The farmhouse, which was originally the chantry house, displays some exposed timber framing with plaster and red-brick infill. The south front is two storeys high and features three casement windows, all tile-hung. The north-east front has been largely rebuilt in red brick and includes a stone inscribed "WPO 1685," marking the date when the rest of the hospital was reconstructed.
The interior has not been inspected.
