Description (Kindly prepared by the vendors) The building, known as St. Nicholas Hall and also the Verger s House, is a landmark building in Hertford, situated next to St Andrew s Church on one side and a car park on the other which backs on to the Castle Hall and it s grounds. For the last 50 years the building has been an Antiques shop known as Beckwith & Son, much photographed and on the tourist trail. The building consists of three parts which are fully connected, a covered yard and an open area to the side which has vehicle access. The Verger s House is a 15 th century jettied half timbered building on three floors with a cellar, and fireplaces on each level and occupied as a residence prior to it s restoration in the 1960 s. The top floor is a self contained one bedroomed flat with sitting room, bathroom, kitchen and separate toilet. Attached is St Nicholas Hall, formerly a church hall built in 1892 and partly funded by residents in Hertford Connecticut. The hall follows a design for a medieval aisled hall with a stage and sub basement below with natural light at the south end; subsequently altered in the late 1960 s to accommodate a first floor, providing an attractive and unusual space. A new staircase linking the medieval front with the first floor church hall was built in English oak in 2008/9. There is under floor heating to the ground floor run by a gas fired Rayburn. The third part of the building is connected by a stone staircase serving the back of the stage and it s sub-basement room (with natural light). The Schoolroom has pleasing proportions, open to the roof, again with good natural light. A separate toilet block for girls and boys at the end of the covered yard no longer exists.
