Description
Nicholas House is a house that now serves as a meeting house for the Guild of St. Nicholas. It has medieval origins but is mainly from the late 16th century to early 17th century. The building features regular coursed limestone and a timber frame with brick infill, topped by a thatched roof. It has a three-unit plan and is a single storey with an attic. The façade includes a two-window range of small eyebrow dormers, some of which have leaded casements. There are three 19th-century plank doors with three small windows between them. The left gable displays a timber-framed apex and two casement windows, with the ground floor window featuring leaded lights. The rear elevation has four windows, two of which retain remnants of leaded lights. Inside, there are three open fireplaces with bressumers and a winder stair. The building was once divided into three houses. It is said that the original structure was occupied by stone masons who worked at the nearby Church of St. Nicholas.
