Description
St Nicholas House is a late 17th-century house, later restored in the 20th century, situated on the north side of The Mount in Guildford. It is now used as offices. The house is timber-framed with a whitewashed render front and a plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys and attics, with a basement, and features stacks to the rear left and right. It includes end pier buttresses and deep, coved eaves. The roof is punctuated by three gabled dormers; the outer dormers have three lights, the centre dormer has two lights, and there are casement windows beneath cambered heads on the first floor. The ground floor has two three-light casement windows. The central entrance features a six-panel door with the top two panels glazed, set within a 20th-century open pediment hood and fluted pilaster surround. Basement windows have been blocked. The interior retains ceiling frames with chamfered joists in the ground floor rooms, and a deep fireplace on the rear wall of the right-hand room.
