Claremont And Brierdene

Claremont and Brierdene are two houses built in the early 19th century. They are constructed from coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and quoins, topped with a Welsh slate roof that features stone gable copings. Each house is two storeys high and consists of three bays.

The first bay of No. 5 on the left has an elliptical-headed vehicle entrance. The central entrance of No. 5 has a five-panel door with a margined overlight set in a doorcase with half-hexagonal tapered pilasters. No. 4 features a central six-panel door and a fanlight with a wheat sheaf design in the radiating glazing bars, framed by fluted pilasters and a simplified entablature. The other ground-floor bays have canted bay windows with convex sides, panelled pilasters, and a top cornice.

On the first floor, there is a blank space above the door of No. 5, with architraves and projecting stone sills; all windows are sashes with glazing bars. The roof is adorned with three banded ridge chimneys. Inside No. 4, there is a richly-carved bombe chimney piece with diagonal bracketed pilasters, flanked by segmental-headed glazed half-cupboards featuring saltire glazing bars.
