Hulcott Nursing Home

Hulcott Nursing Home was originally built as the Rectory in 1862 by George Devey. The building is constructed of brick with rubble stone at the lower part and features altered sections on the first floor. It has a tile-hung gable and a steeply pitched tiled roof, with brick chimneys that have corbelled heads. The bargeboards on the gables are patterned, contributing to its picturesque appearance.

The nursing home is two storeys high with an attic, showcasing a complex design. The north elevation includes a gabled wing on the left-hand side, featuring a four-light casement window on the ground floor and a small window to the right. The first-floor rendering has been removed, exposing timber studs with brick infill. There is a four-light wooden oriel window supported by brackets and a three-light window in the attic.

On the right-hand side, there is a hipped roof open porch with tall baluster-shaped posts on a dwarf wall. The gable on this side displays a diaper brick pattern, and there is a projecting chimney made of stone and brick. The flank of the wing to the right is finished in stone and brick, with the first floor rendered.

The west elevation features a gabled section on the left with an oversailing first floor supported by brick and timber brackets. There is a three-light casement window on the ground floor and a three-light oriel window with a coved soffit on the first floor, topped by a projecting tile-hung gable. A hipped roof bay window is located on the right in the angle with the south wing, which has a two-light window on the first floor at the corner. The south elevation has a three-light adjoining casement and a brick cill band that continues over a small brick recess, with a small window to the right and a modern glazed door on the ground floor. The tile-hung gable projects on brackets and features a quatrefoil attic vent. There is also a two-storeyed gabled square bay window on the right with a four-light mullioned and transomed casement on the ground floor and a five-light casement above. Additionally, there is a one-storey wing and modern one-storey additions to the east.
