Description
College Fields Nursing Home is a three-storey building designed in the Queen Anne style, constructed from red brick and bathstone. It features outer wings and panelled brick pilasters. The hipped slate roofs have bracket eaves, and there are brick stacks topped with stone cornices. The window architraves display reeding and volutes.
The central block has seven bays, a lunette dormer, and a central splayed bay with paired oculi at the outer ends of the top floor. A Tuscan colonnade is present at the centre of the ground floor, with an entablature that connects to the advanced outer bays, which have arched and keyblock architraves for the tripartite windows. The building has small-pane sash windows, and the entrance features double doors with side lights and a fanlight, all set on a raised terrace. The advanced outer wings are styled similarly, with central lunette dormers and three bays that include panelled brick pilasters and oculi at the ends of the top floor. Each end of the building has twelve window returns.
Inside, the entrance hall is notable for its square piers, and there is a well-designed rear open well stair with an iron handrail and timber treads.
